Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - November 19, 2025 [Nostalgia Rex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. What? A double shenanigans link?! Yep - just for tonight. Because you're special (and it fits with the theme).

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another random assortment of interweb morsels and mystery clicks. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Don't be a traffic cone.

"Aayyyy! Time for Wednesday ONT content!"

***

Today is World Toilet Day according to the United Nations. Happy toilet day! No, this isn't AI and I did not make it up. In the spirit of the celebration, commenter number 2 will win the Official ONT Toilet Bowl Award for the day.

***

Imagine the work of an archeologist that attempts to construct a picture of what life was like based solely on fragments and pieces. Egyptologists work to figure out the story of ancient Egypt based on sculptures, tombs, ruins of buildings, and hieroglyphs. Dinosaurologists (otherwise known as paleontologists) attempt to imagine the life of dinosaurs before the unfortunate asteroid incident.

What will people of the future use to reconstruct our world? What could they look at? What would they think if they used only magazine covers?

The ONT is here to tackle the hard questions (in the name of science). What year? Let's give 1978 a try.

"This is going to be very random, isn't it?"

Yes. Yes it is. Enjoy!

Please excuse tankdemon for being late. He is STILL digging through his collection of Compute! magazines looking for the issue with Hunt the Wumpus cheat codes.

20251115-Omni Magazine cover.jpg

Exit question: How many are still being published today? ( I don't know the answer - I just ask questions.)

Because I knew you would ask, "Weeds, Trees and Turf Magazine" made it until 2000 before being absorbed by Turf Magazine which continues to publish quality content in hard copy and virtual form for "green industry professionals, offering insights on business management, greenskeeping, lawn care, landscape design, irrigation, snow and ice management, and the latest landscaping equipment." Carl Spackler approves.

***

Top ten magazines in the US in December 1978 by average paid circulation:

1 - TV Guide - 19,137,406
2 - Reader's Digest - 18,108,000
3 - National Geographic - 10,184,000
4 - Better Homes and Gardens - 8,006,357
5 - Family Circle - 7,503,124
6 - Woman's Day - 7,003,456
7 - Good Housekeeping - 5,406,799
8 - Ladies' Home Journal - 5,402,131
9 - McCall's - 5,305,189
10- Playboy - 5,206,111

The Pittsburgh police scanner keeps giving. Thank you people of Pittsburgh!

Not sure why you'd call the police, but...

The good news is that it isn't an intruder. The bad news...

Grand finale:

***

ONT Department of Legal Mumbo Jumbo - are you following the court battles on gerrymandering? On a 2-1 vote, a Federal district court on Nov 18 decided that redrawn congressional district maps in Texas were invalid because they were "racially gerrymandered." Ace covered the story yesterday.

If you are following this story, you'll be interested to know that a separate dissent was released today. Highly unusual. Want to know why? Read the dissent.

Other than general information, why am I posting this? The dissent is brutal. Brutal - on a personal level, on the legal merits and on the facts. It makes the majority opinion look even worse than originally thought. It is worthy of the book thread. It even has its own docket entry (for reasons). I believe an appeal is skipping the 5th Circuit and headed to SCOTUS. Stay tuned.

41 OK. Update on American Revolution. Lots of battles. Losses and wins on both sides. Indians start to believe they shouldn't trust either side, that failure awaits in any case. Americans have the Brits bottled up in Boston. Lafayette appears but isn't made a commander. Philadelphia falls. Washington keeps getting new/more troops, mainly with promises that most likely won't be kept. Biggest item = Brits are soundly defeated at Saratoga (Benedict Arnold is the hero) and an entire Brits army surrenders. That brings the French to the table and they are the first nation to recognize the USA.

79 World Toilet Day and the future.
Years ago I read an SF story about archeologists poking about in the ruins of ancient Earth. One of the few things to survive were ceramic objects that were present in almost every building. They came in a bewildering number of shapes and sizes. Were they altars? Perhaps some form of food distribution system? The only clue was a sign in a long forgotten language: "Employees Must Wash Hands After Using Restroom."

WAs wondering...

For tough to eradicate weeds like bamboo, thistles, and kudzu, what if you drove a copper-plated ground rod into the ground near the infestation, and connected that to your AC service neutral, and then clamp a jumper cable to the stalk of the plant, and plug the other end of the wire into an outlet? Put 120 volts AC right through the sucker. Maybe that would cook the weed enough to kill it, above and below ground, or burn the root hairs off the roots (which are the parts that enable a plant to uptake water and nutrients from the soil).

I'd rig it so there was a push-button switch and a 30 amp breaker in the box with the hot wire, so the wire would not be energized while moving the jumper from weed to weed.

Her orchestra played the same song back in May, and I told her at the time that they did a great job, but that song NEEDS a saxophone. She disagreed vehemently (Is there any other kind with Pookette?) and last night her band played it properly. Well, sort of. I could hear the clarinets and tenor saxes far better than the alto saxes, but that might have been a seat location issue.

Read similar about PVC, they grow into a crack or crevice that can easily be found in concrete but with out that they go around the obstacle. Electrocuting them sounds cool. A push button switch that's only on while depressed may be a safety.

184 I was in a Blue Man concert. I had bought tickets and early in the show a stage hand came up and asked me to participate.

They took me backstage and explained the act, then had me get put on a poncho and mask and get into a small box which they would wheel on stage and I would come out of.

The act was that they showed a video of "me" on stage of "me" after I went backstage that showed them basically beating the snot out of me in a comical way but was just a dummy wearing the same pancho and mask they had me put on.

It was pretty funny and well done.

196 Two amazing things happened to me in the 1970's: 1. There was this little club that my brother and I would go to after work. Mostly it was recorded music - but they had a stage so sometimes they'd have a local band playing. One night we walked in the door just as the DJ was saying "Ladies and Gentlemen: Chicago" Sure enough that is who it was. The club was only about 1/2 full so we got a table right in front of the band. They were so good. They used the club as rehearsal for their big concert date in Richmond.

2. I walked into an all night restaurant on Broad St in Richmond. There was a couple in there: Cher and Greg Allman. Cher was smiling and laughing at something Greg said. As soon as she saw me she went stiff and dropped into dealing with asses mode. No way I wanted to disturb them so I got a booth at the far end and ordered breakfast. Cher said "Doesn't he know who we are? Greg looked at me and said "He knows, he's just giving us privacy." After I gobbled down my eggs and toast I go up to leave. On the way out I gave each of them some polite applause. Greg nodded at me and said "I told you he knew who we were."

You know, movies and video "work" for humans because of a phenomenon called "persistence of vision". We get a short glimpse of something, and that images persists in our mind's eye for a few milliseconds until supplanted by something else. The result is we see movies and TV as a continuous flow of movement. Not all animals have this. What if highly-advanced space aliens did not have it? They could probably reason out that a strip of movie film was intended to represent motion. but they could not view the film and experience the motion the way we do.

Chicago (and those horns!) was my favorite band in the late 70's (R.I.P. the Great Terry Kath).

In the mid-90s, my girlfriend and I were visiting a gay friend of hers (whom she bought her pot from) in San Francisco. We went out to a club in one of the downtown hotels (I think it was "The Mint").

Anyway, we walk into a small amphitheater where they're having a karaoke night. A woman on-stage starts singing the famous song at the time "What's Up" by the 4 Non Blondes -- which I really liked -- and I was blown away.

I said: "She sounds just like the lead singer on that song" and my girlfriend's friend chuckles and says "That's because it IS the lead singer -- Linda Perry!" Turns out she was celebrating her birthday that night with a group of lesbian friends, who made her get up on stage and sing it.

254 You know, movies and video "work" for humans because of a phenomenon called "persistence of vision". We get a short glimpse of something, and that images persists in our mind's eye for a few milliseconds until supplanted by something else. The result is we see movies and TV as a continuous flow of movement. Not all animals have this.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

And they don't all have it at the same rate. Dogs are more likely to freak out about things on a modern digital TV than they were on old analog tube sets, because their eyes effectively work at a higher frequency than ours. New TVs look "real" to them; NTSC sets looked like really fast slideshows.

260 I said: "She sounds just like the lead singer on that song" and my girlfriend's friend chuckles and says "That's because it IS the lead singer -- Linda Perry!" Turns out she was celebrating her birthday that night with a group of lesbian friends, who made her get up on stage and sing it.

I just played their song on Youtube, and yes that was a good song.

I'm kind of amazed she could sing a Karaoke version of her song, since Karaoke changes keys to an easier to sing version. I can sing the Eagles song I can't tell you why in the original difficult falsetto key. I tried singing it to a Karaoke key and I was just awful; I kept hearing how the vocals were supposed to sound and they just didn't fit the music I was hearing. But that is part of why I'm not a musician.

Th trick would be to open the tube and apply the glue in a moisture-free atmosphere. Oxygen-free, even better. When I use POR-15 anti-rust paint, which is similarly catalyzed by airborne moisture, I stick the nozzle of my MIG welder under the edge of the lid as I am reclosing the can, and let CO2 flow in for a few seconds to displace the air. Seems to work.

You take the folded unit out of the closet, set it up, put your work piece and the Krazy Glue inside, and toss in a lump of dry ice. Give it time to gas off, and drive the air out, then open your tube of glue, glue up your job, and seal the tube, with it never having touched humid air. Betcha Anna could use one. Of course, she is smart enough to build one on her own.

He caught on with teens, was allowed to wear the leather, and became a much bigger part of the show and they softened his character up a lot.

Wacky Prediction:

Democrats & Fake News will begin to "ask questions" about epstein's "suicide" and answer their "questions" with "Trump did it."

So, yeah, the Democrats now have no choice but to take up the esptein didn't kill himself (which they NEVER did before and called Us "conspiracy theoriests" for saying it) mantle and fake-conclude that Trump had him killed.

Buy the 4-pack of tiny little tubes at chynah freight. (Used to be 99 cents, probly 2 or 3 dollars now?)

I don't need the stuff very often, and only a drop or two when I do need it. Like, for gluing my skin back together after it splits in cold, dry weather! There's just no other way to *quickly* heal knuckle and fingertip splits, they'll keep breaking open because nearly impossible to bandage.

Respectfully disagree. When Smells Like Teen Spirit came out on the radio, you knew that a musical meteor had just struck the earth. You didn't know at the time that the big hair bands were about to become extinct. They had that kind of impact, out of nowhere.

Looking at Dave Grohl's post-Nirvana career, I'd say they had at least 2 world-beating musicians in that band. I doubt they would have survived as a unit a few years more than they did, but I think they would have solidified their place as one of the great bands in rock history.

Nirvana was ok, though the band that came out of it's ashes, Foo Fighters, were significantly better. Always thought Soundgarden and Alice in Chains were much better bands than Nirvana. I think the overwrought reaction after he died was odd. Anybody who paid attention to his lyrics could have seen he was a mess. Same for a lot of those guys at the time. Them dying by OD or by suicide was sad but hardly a shock. Its happened before. Early 70s (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison), late 50s/early 60s with quite a few of jazz greats ODd.

Pretty much. You nailed it maybe without even knowing it when you say "artists". I not sure I can even explain my feelings on grunge. Every frigging musician I ever met over the years that viewed themselves as "artists" were weird. I mingled with a lot of grunge "artists" over the years. The majority of them seemed dead inside. Its hard to explain. Metal dudes were not that way. We never viewed ourselves as artists. Artists are the ones that think they have something to say, and because of that its always some whiny self indulgent preachy bullshit. It would take hours to explain the differences. Metal dudes usually always had this fire in their soul, they weren't dead behind the eyes. We just operated on a whole different fuel source.

375 BarelyScaryMary, yes, Jim Croce's son played a mix of Jim Croce songs and some of his own new stuff, a blues influence with some rock throw in. It was interesting to listen to. He told a lot of stories about his Dad and himself and many other famous musicians that they had know and played with. He looks a lot like Elvis Costello once upon a time.

I wish I still had them but they got stolen the night I arrived back home from Somalia. I've been able to find some on youtube but have long forgotten most of the band names.

387 bear: anything, even rap, can be done really well. I LOVE that song by M/A/R/R/S, "Pump Up The Volume." It has a great melody and dance beat.

Inside a squirrel's nest. I mean a hole in a tree, not those nasty things they build.

Okay, now I understand that these "if you're left brained you see an X, if you're right brained you see a Y" memes are clickbait. No one sees X or Y. Everyone sees Z, the thing that it obviously is. There is no one who doesn't immediately recognize this silhouette and it's not a f***ing turtle or rabbit, I can tell you that.

And here's another one.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... we can't get fooled again!

No wonder we all saw a cow. I feel very dumb. And I apologize for the Fake News.

Teacher creates a cult for her students with herself as the Cult Leader.

Something something from that Lion King movie. Based on the videos I see, meerkats spend all day hanging out with warthogs. Nothing to see here.

Art with frost.

Polite dogs wait for their slow friend to come to dinner.

Handsome cow.

Steampunk decapitation device.

Oh, to have one tenth of the joy and rizz of this dog.

Rabbit trembles at having his nails cut. Animals just hate this.

Leopard's skills at stalking from a reclining position are unmatched.

Playing with your cat.

So you like worms, Olivia?

All beings love a slide.

Caretaker runs with his elephants. Looks fun, and also, very dangerous. You have to have a lot of faith in the agility of elephants.

We had a young squirrel venture onto our back porch this morning. Ony, the old black cat, was lounging on a couch, jumped down, and chased him outside and across the fenced-in back yard. I wouldn't like to think about her getting into a real fight with an adult tree rat, but she put the fear of cat into that young'n. It got away, which is good, so it can tell all its friends to stay out of our house; there be monsters! 🙀

Do I... A) Blast YMCA on my exterior speakers all night long? B) Park my 10,000 lbs MAGA Red military diesel guzzling vehicle on the road so that it welcomes all who attend or C) Project a picture of Trump on the lighthouse right across the street from where the party is happening?

I vote for all three. Make your point while you can.

160 Hardtack is a unleavened bread that is mostly flour, water and salt, rolled out about a 1/2" thick and then baked twice to drive out all the moisture and make it shelf stable.
If stored well, it will last 50 years and be as tasty at the half century as it was the day it cooled from the oven.

It's what they do. They make an issue the only thing in the world that matters! until they've milked it dry and then move on to the next issue that's the only thing in the world that matters!

They have a big advantage because the media never holds them to account but their game is getting tired.

An English flip is a traditional cocktail that originated in the late 17th century, primarily served in taverns. It is made from a mixture of beer, rum, sugar, and eggs, often heated with a hot iron poker to create a frothy texture. The drink is typically garnished with grated nutmeg and can be served hot or cold, depending on the recipe or the outside temperature,

James Comer: I'll Give Bill and Hillary Clinton the Steve Bannon Treatment -- Prosecution Then Prison -- If They Continue to Refuse to Testify

If only, if only.

We'll see. We certainly have adequate justification and adequate provocation given that Biden sent Steven Bannon and Peter Navarro to prison for refusing to testify before the J6 illegal committee.

The Clintons are demanded to testify about a matter the Democrats claim must be fully exposed and aired out, the Epstein Pedophile ring.

So what excuse can they offer the Clintons for refusing to tell us what they know?

Just The News:

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Tuesday said he would give former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the same treatment Democrats gave Steve Bannon if they do not comply with congressional subpoenas to testify on their alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
House Democrats referred Bannon for prosecution after he failed to comply with a House January 6 subcommittee subpoena. He was later convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress and sentenced to four months in prison in 2022.
Comer said the Clintons are two Democrats that his committee has not heard back from regarding subpoenas for their testimony on their ties to Epstein, and that continued silence will be met with criminal referrals.
"We expect to hear from Bill and Hillary Clinton," Comer said on the "Just The News, No Noise" TV show. "Donald Trump answered questions for years about Jeffrey Epstein. Every day he gets asked questions about Epstein, and he answers them in front of the American people. We've subpoenaed Republicans and Democrats.
"Other Democrats have sent letters saying they knew nothing about Epstein, which would hold in court if something ever comes out that they did know something, then they've committed perjury there," he continued. "But the Clintons have never responded. They're the one group in this investigation that's never had to answer questions in front of a credible reporter, and they've never certainly answered questions from attorneys or members of Congress.
"So we expect the Clintons to come in, or I expect the Clintons to be met with the same fate that Bannon and [Peter] Navarro were met with when the Democrats were in control," he concluded.
Comer also noted that other Democrats have not helped bring the Clintons in to testify because they are too focused on trying to criminally connect Trump to Epstein.

Rep James Comer (R), was found dead today in a locked trunk at the bottom of the Potomac River two miles south of Reagan National airport. The body had numerous burns, stab wounds, broken knees, and two gunshot wounds to the back of the head.

The local northern Virginia coroner declared it a suicide.

At one point, Congress did have the power, which it used, to arrest and jail people for refusing subpoenas and contempt.

The courts curtailed that a bit, but it still technically exists, I think, they just haven't used it in a long time.

According to Grok, that power still exists. It's called "Inherent contempt". The current regime they always use is a statutory one. Congress made it a crime as well as civil violations.

But Inherent Contempt still exists, and the Court ruled it is inherent to Article I power. In order to function, Congress must have this power, "necessary and proper". Ie, suppose Congress subpoenas somebody. And say the Executive is against then and refuses to enforce that via the statue. Congress must have what amounts to executive arrest power on its own.

And, there is not much judicial review, other than violation of constitutional rights. The decision of what is contempt belongs to Congress alone. The court doesn't get to review that call.

The Atlanta Fed came out today with a projection of 4.2 GDP in Q3. They projected inflation at 2.2 next year. Prices on many things like food and gas is down and most of the stuff in the BBB doesn't even kick in until next year.

Mamdani won in NYC because he dominated with foreign born voters and because Cuomo sucks and even Democrats hate him. NYC has always been unaffordable and almost always run by Democrats.

We are losing because all of that $1.2 TRILLION in covid emergency money along with the $4 TRILLION in the inflation reduction act money that was being handed out like candy has ran out and the democrats timed that perfectly.

It's going to get worse. My wife volunteers at two food pantries and the food supply has literally dried up. They are getting less than half of what they did just six months ago while the lines are getting longer.

It's a perfect storm and the democrats planned this and will take back the house and the senate next year because of it. They play the long game while republicans are just playing games like trying to indict hillary clinton in washington DC.

141 Further, according to Grok, this inherent contempt has not been fully tested against Executive privilege claims.

Every DOJ has claimed it is unconstitutional, a violation of separation of powers (for valid executive privilege assertions), but the boundaries of that has never been decided.

The last time this was used was in 1934, and maybe 1935. Each house, House and Senate has this power on its own. That is, each chamber can invoke it on its own.

The economy is beginning to heal. As I just said the Atlanta Fed pegs Q3 GDP at 4.2 and inflation next year at basically 2% which is no inflation. We are finally getting illegals out of the country.

Two Partisan Hacks Ignored Supreme Court Precedent to Claim the Texas Redistricting Map Was Illegal.
Judge Smith Dissents

And what a dissent.

Jerry E. Smith, Circuit Judge, dissenting:
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night!"
I dissent from the entirety of Judge Brown's opinion granting a
preliminary injunction.
* * * * *
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
I append this Preliminary Statement to dispel any suspicion that I'm
responsible for any delay in issuing the preliminary injunction or that I am or saw
slow-walking the ruling. I also need to highlight the pernicious judicial
misbehavior of U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown.

In my 37 years on the federal bench, this is the most outrageous conduct
by a judge that I have ever encountered in a case in which I have been involved.
In summary, Judge Brown has issued a 160-page opinion without giving
me any reasonable opportunity to respond. I will set forth the details. The
readers can judge for themselves.
This three-judge district court held a nine-day evidentiary hearing/trial
on the motion for preliminary injunction. That hearing was concluded Friday
October 10. The judges immediately retired to confer. Judges Brown and
Guaderrama voted to grant the preliminary injunction. I voted to deny. It was
understood that the majority judges would begin putting together an opinion.
During the next 26 days, there was silence--nary a word from either
judge.
On Wednesday November 5, Judge Brown sent me a 13-page outline of
the expected majority opinion "so that you and your chambers might be able to
begin preparing your dissenting opinion."
Nothing else for a week.
On Wednesday November 12, Judge Brown sent a message stating, "We
currently anticipate issuing our injunction on Saturday, November 15. We will
endeavor to get you a draft before we issue it. Sadly, we do not believe we can
wait for a dissenting opinion before we rule--the fuse is simply too short in light
of Purcell. We will, however, note on the opinion that you are dissenting. We are
not trying to cut you out, we just don't have the time. Ideally, of course, we'd
have liked to have seen your dissent before we issue our opinion, but that will
also be impossible."

So, in other words: They withheld their corrupt and lawless decision from him so that he couldn't construct a dissent, and then rushed out the ruling claiming there was suddenly a big hurry that would not permit him to review it.

Yes, you heard it right. To summarize, in case the reader doesn't get the
point: Judge Brown was announcing that he would issue an opinion three days
later--an opinion that I hadn't even seen and might not be furnished before its
issuance. That is unthinkable, but it occurred--and not accidentally.

I'm omitting further details about this game of hide-the-salami the other judges played with the dissenting judge. See the actual dissent for those details. I want to get to the forest without seeing each stalk of bamboo one-by-one.

This outrage speaks for itself. Any pretense of judicial restraint, good
faith, or trust by these two judges is gone. If these judges were so sure of their
result, they would not have been so unfairly eager to issue the opinion sans my
dissent, or they could have waited for the dissent in order to join issue with it.
What indeed are they afraid of?
Judges on multi-judge courts understand how important is the
deliberative process to fair and accurate judicial decisionmaking. As I say later
in this dissent, judges get paid to disagree as well as to find common ground.
Judges in the majority don't get to tell a dissenting judge or judges that they can't
participate. If the two judges on this panel get away with what they have done,
it sets a horrendous precedent that "might makes right" and the end justifies the
means.
...
When I was a newer on the bench, a friend asked me, "Now that you've
been a judge for a few years, do you have any particular advice?" I replied,
"Always sit with your back to the wall."

Now Judge Smith names names -- specifically, George and Alexander Soros, who are funding this lawsuit and many other lawsuits challenging Republican redistricting.

The main winners from Judge Brown's opinion are George Soros and
Gavin Newsom. The obvious losers are the People of Texas and the Rule of Law.
I dissent.
..
The resulting dissent is far from a literary masterpiece. If, however, there
were a Nobel Prize for Fiction, Judge Brown's opinion would be a prime
candidate.
Judge Brown could have saved himself and the readers a lot of time and
effort by merely stating the following:

I just don't like what the Legislature did here. It was
unnecessary, and it seems unfair to disadvantaged voters. I need
to step in to make sure wiser heads prevail over the nakedly
partisan and racially questionable actions of these zealous
lawmakers. Just as I did to the lawmakers in Galveston County in
Petteway, I'm using my considerable clout as a federal district
judge to put a stop to bad policy judgments. After all, I get paid to
do what I think is right.

In 37 years as a federal judge, I've served on hundreds of three-judge
panels. This is the most blatant exercise of judicial activism that I have ever
witnessed.

There's the old joke: What's the difference between God and a federal
district judge? Answer: God doesn't think he's a federal judge. Or a different
version of that joke: An angel rushes to the head of the Heavenly Host and says,
"We have a problem. God has delusions of grandeur." The head angel calmly
replies, "What makes you say that?" The first angel whispers, "He's wearing
his robe and keeps imagining he's a federal judge."
Only this time, it isn't funny.

I'm omitting another long passage, in which Smith establishes that Judge Brown loves claiming that any Republican redistricting efforts are necessarily racist, and they all must therefore be stopped.

Smith previously dissented in another case of leftwing judges invalidating legislators' redistricting decisions, and the reviewing court found that he was right and the leftwing judges were wrong.

Speaking of fortune: Just a few weeks ago, the Fifth Circuit answered the
main question at hand, holding that "[t]he most obvious reason for mid-cycle
redistricting, of course, is partisan gain.3 The question for this three-judge
district panel is whether the Texas Legislature did its mid-decade congressional
redistricting to gain political advantage or, instead, because the main goal of
Texas's Republican legislators is to slash the voting rights of persons of color.
Once again, here we go again: Criticizing the behavior of DOJ lawyers in
last decade's redistricting battle, I noted the following:

It was obvious, from the start, that the DoJ attorneys viewed
state officials and the legislative majority and their staffs as a
bunch of backwoods hayseed bigots who bemoan the abolition of
the poll tax and pine for the days of literacy tests and lynchings.
And the DoJ lawyers saw themselves as an expeditionary landing
party arriving here, just in time, to rescue the state from
oppression . . . . The [DoJ] moreover views Texas redistricting
litigation as the potential grand prize and lusts for the day when it
can reimpose preclearance via Section 3(c).[4]

"Preclearance" is the old regime in which southern states -- states of the former Confederacy -- could not change their election laws at all without prior approval -- "pre-clearance" -- from the federal government. This regime was finally ended about ten years ago-- but leftwing judges are trying to bring it back through the back door.

...
Because the "obvious reason" for the 2025 redistricting "of course, is
partisan gain," Judge Brown commits grave error in concluding that the Texas
Legislature is more bigoted than political.
...

It's all politics, on both sides of the partisan aisle. George and Alex Soros
have their hands all over this.
One of the plaintiffs' top experts is Matt Barreto. He is a paid Soros
operative and does not attempt to hide it. His CV confirms it. He expects to
receive $2.5 million6 from George and Alexander Soros. Nor is this something
new. Soros has been pumping money into Barreto's UCLA Voting Rights
Project for years.8 And this steady supply of money won't stop until 2026, at the
earliest. Unsurprisingly, Barreto has been on quite a road show for years,
parading across the country opposing Republican redistricting.
That is the tip of the iceberg. The lawyers are involved as well.
...

To his credit, the lead counsel for plaintiffs does not try to hide it, either.
Chad Dunn acknowledged so in open court--he works with Barreto at the same
Voting Rights Project11 that receives Soros funding. Dunn is a respected attorney
in Texas election law cases, most recently serving as counsel in the Jackson
case,12 in which the Fifth Circuit squarely declared the political nature of mid-
decade redistricting. Mr. Dunn, along with his Voting Rights Project colleague
Sonni Waknin, also represented the plaintiffs before Judge Brown in the Petteway
case, which was overturned by the en banc Fifth Circuit.
Mark Gaber also appeared in Petteway and Jackson. He is the Senior
Redistricting Director at Campaign Legal Center, a Soros-funded group.
It does not stop there. The Elias Law Group draws from the Soros
coffers, too. Counsel for the instant Gonzales plaintiffs, David Fox, is a partner
at Elias, which "has collected more than $104 million" from Democrat Party
committees and donors, including Mr. Soros.15 Firm Chair Marc Elias formed
entities, "tucked inside large existing nonprofits," that "raised tens of millions
of dollars from some of the richest donors on the left--including from
foundations funded by Mr. Soros."
On a silver platter, Judge Brown hands Soros a victory at the expense of
the People of Texas and the Rule of Law. Judge Brown won't tell you that. I
just did.
Relatedly, Gavin Newsom took a victory lap in Houston to celebrate the
Democrat redistricting win with Proposition 50.19 Indeed, he did so "on rival
Gov. Greg Abbott's home turf Saturday and called on other blue states to push
back on a GOP effort to retain control of the U.S. House." And after the
improperly premature issuance of Judge Brown's opinion, the Houston Chronicle
pointed out that Governor Newsom quickly tweeted, "Donald Trump and Greg
Abbott played with fire, got burned -- and democracy won . . . This ruling is a
win for Texas, and for every American who fights for free and fair elections."21
That tells you all that you need to know--this is about partisan politics,
plain and simple.
...
Regardless of one's political slant, it's obvious what Texas is trying to do in 2025. The Republicans' national margin in the House of Representatives is LULAC
so slim that squeezing out a majority might even depend, day-to-day, on whether
some seats are vacant because of deaths or resignations.
In 2021, the Texas Legislature, with both houses controlled by
Republicans, devised a strategy of creating safe seats for both Republicans and
Democrats, but with a decided majority of the state's delegation still Republican.
Whether (as a matter of political clout) that was the wisest strategy is disputed
and indeed was fulsomely debated in 2021.
In mid-2025, the strategy changed: The new plan was to make more seats
winnable for Republicans by moving some Democrats incumbents from their
districts and rendering other districts unwinnable by Democrats. That sacrificed
the wider margins in some of the old districts. The tradeoff is obvious.
There is some speculation that this new strategy will backfire on
Republicans in 2026 because, if they do poorly in the mid-terms, the new
Republican seats created in 2025 will be a Pyrrhic victory, because they will lose
elections in the closer districts. That is purely a matter of political strategy that
federal judges have no business touching.

Apparently, the plaintiffs -- funded by George Soros -- argued that creating fewer but safer Republican seats, as they did in 2021, is obviously the correct political choice for Republicans, so that now that they've decided to go for the incorrect choice -- more seats, but each less defensible -- it can be for no other reason than RACISM.

Not changing political fortunes or strategies. No, it must be Racism. There is no other explanation.

The challenge faced by these plaintiffs The challenge faced by these plaintiffs and Judge Brown is to explain how
it could be that the Republicans would sacrifice their stated goal of political gain
for racial considerations. It makes no sense to advance the notion that the
Republican Legislature would draw districts for the purpose of disadvantaging
racial and ethnic minorities if, by doing so, they lessen the number of new
Republican seats they might gain.
The plaintiffs' theory is both perverse and bizarre. They actually
contend that if the Republicans are sincere about gaining more seats, they could
have drawn not five, but six, seven, or eight additional seats and that the reason
they did not is that the real reason is racial animus. The absurdity of that notion
speaks for itself. Yet it's all that the plaintiffs and Judge Brown have to offer to
defeat the State's claim that the 2025 lines were drawn for the sake of politics
and not race.

Smith now points out that the Supreme Court seems likely to blow up the whole idea that minorities get special protection in redistricting -- but rather than wait for that coming ruling, the liberals rush to get last licks in.

Judge Brown rushes to issue this injunction before the tension between
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and racial-gerrymandering jurisprudence is
resolved by the Supreme Court in the currently-pending Callais case. Given
Judge Brown's creative read of the facts and novel approach to the law, he should
have considered denying this injunction for that reason alone, recognizing that a
fundamental shift in voting-rights jurisprudence is not unlikely. Because the
power to stay proceedings "is incidental to the power inherent in every court to
control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and
effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants," it would have been well within the
authority of this three-judge court.
The fact that Callais may fundamentally change the nature of this case
also weighs in favor of a stay. It is reckless for this court to proceed with opining
on the merits, which amounts to nothing more than a general guess as to whether
existing voting-rights jurisprudence will survive Callais.
* * * * *
Judge Brown has a lingering habit. He correctly recites part of a legal
principle, then veers off track along a spectrum--intentionally misleading at best
to false at worst. The opinion is replete with selectively copying and pasting parts
of legal rules or standards. Beyond that, things get dicey.
This holds especially for Judge Brown's discussion of the standard for
preliminary injunctions.

He points out that Brown first correctly states the first criterion for an injunction -- a "substantial likelihood of success on the merits" (after a full trial)-- but then immediately omits the "substantial" part and just rules that the Soros plaintiffs are merely likely to win.

A modifier like "substantial" is meant to limit injunctions to only cases where the outcome is barely arguable, and the ultimate ruling mostly fore-ordained.

Instead, Brown just says he thinks one side will probably win and boom, there's your injunction.

...
He should give less consideration to the omission and more consideration
to the actual words on the page. Judge Brown accurately cuts and pastes the
following: A preliminary injunction is "an extraordinary and drastic remedy
which should not be granted unless the movant clearly carries the burden of
persuasion," and the likelihood of success on the merits is "the most important"
factor of the framework.
But the cut-and-paste job is selective. Judge Brown left out the fact that,
giving attention to the relevant cases cited in Jackson, "the most important" factor
language in Jackson27 is a direct quote from Mock v. Garland.28 And any cursory
reading of Mock easily reveals that the word "substantial"29 (the word Judge
Brown tries to avoid) is part of the first factor in no uncertain terms: "a
substantial likelihood of success on the merits."
Judge Brown doesn't tell you that. I just did.
The opinion is caught in an illogical straitjacket from which it cannot
escape.
...
This is intentionally misleading at best, disingenuously false at worst.
There he goes again.

...
If this is not judicial activism, I am not sure what would be.
...

If this were a law school exam, the opinion would deserve an "F."
Remember that recent Fifth Circuit redistricting case, the one that Judge
Brown said was procedurally and factually analogous to the instant one. Judge
Brown conveniently omits the key sentence in that mid-decade redistricting
case: The "most obvious reason for mid-cycle redistricting, of course, is partisan
gain." Judge Brown doesn't even pretend to grapple with Justice Stevens's
relevant quote. It is far from a mere coincidence that the opinion goes to the
mats over the omission of one word, when it suits the results-driven outcome,
but overlooks the most significant sentence about the most obvious reason for
mid-decade redistricting, which is partisan gain.
The combined weight of the procedural and substantive law is against
what these plaintiffs and Judge Brown are trying to do. Not only do plaintiffs
have to show clearly that they are entitled to the drastic and extraordinary remedy
of an injunction, but they must also do so when Supreme Court and Fifth Circuit
precedent is stacked against them. Nothing in any bag of results-oriented tricks
can save that wished-for result.
Judge Brown is an unskilled magician. The audience knows what is
coming next.

...
This panel decides both law and fact. The salient issue of fact is whether
the Legislature drew the new lines on account of race. The answer is easy: It
did not. And that question is not even close.
Did I forget to mention: "The most obvious reason for mid-cycle
redistricting, of course, is partisan gain."

He notes the testimony of the man who used statistical analysis to redraw the maps -- and his testimony is that the maps are based on R vs. D partisan analysis, not race.

Judge Brown ignores all of this to find the "fact" that the maps are based on race.

This order, replete with legal and factual error, and accompanied by
naked procedural abuse, demands reversal.
* * * * *
Darkness descends on the Rule of Law. A bumpy night, indeed.

My take? Judge Smith's argument is sturdy and strong, built from the tallest, straightest bamboo.

The fire in this dissent, and the revelation that the other judges are naked partisans who never find a Republican election move they can't overrule, gives me some hope that the Supreme Court will stay this lawless injunction -- again -- and deal the Soroses a well-deserved loss.

This suggestion appears often, but it would be gamed just like they're already gaming us. It would make appeals panels and the Supremes even LESS likely to slap down a ruling because they'd want to "protect their own" from loss of livelyhood.

The only real solution is an honorable Congress ready to do their job and impeach judges that are determined to ignore the law. But we saw last night (as just one example) that Congress critters would rather "swap prisoners" (Plaskett swapped for Cory Mills) rather than hold BOTH accountable for their actions.

76 He meant to write "I am or WAS slow-walking the ruling" not "saw slow-walking the ruling." I read a lot of federal court decisions. This kind of error is very rare. They have full time clerks to review and triple check everything. You know part of his emotion was that these other judges kept him in the dark and then sprung this on him denying him time to write a professionally drafted decision.

[Boris Yeltsin's ] grandfather, Ignati Yeltsin, was a legendarily, mean, tough character in the area. And through hard labor his whole life and being a bit of a disciplinarian when it came to farm labor, he eventually acquired a horse and a mill on his property. And as a result, they had to be liquidated during Dekulakization. He became a kulak. If you look in western definitions of that, these are rich peasant farmers, the Encyclopedia Britannica talks about how they were even so wealthy that they sometimes gave out mortgages. No, this guy just had a horse basically. So he gets sent off. He dies in transit, Ignati, during this time period.

But I asked some of the old timers who were still in the region to talk about that time period. There were a lot of people who were sons and daughters of people who remembered. And one of the things that they did at that time period is that they didn’t even want to waste money on bullets for the kulaks. So what they would do is just declare you a kulak, continued

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 allows the president to detain or deport citizens of enemy nations during wartime. It was enacted to prevent foreign espionage and has been invoked during major conflicts, including World War I and World War II.
Brennan Center for Justice nafsa.org

Overview of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798
The Alien Enemies Act, officially known as "An Act Respecting Alien Enemies," was enacted on July 6, 1798, as part of the Alien and Sedition Acts. This law grants the President of the United States the authority to detain or deport foreign nationals from countries that are considered enemies during times of war or when there is a threat of invasion.

Both of these statements are true, correct, and in keeping with military law.

They went on to say that they'd have your back if you obeyed the UCMJ which was a meaningless bit of nothing.

210 And unaddressed is the actual result of several years of various legal schemes to make sure people of certain skin colors can win seats and form dynasties. In CA the cities that are dominated by "minorities" of the same skin color as most of their constituents have terrible records of crime, graft, and neglect. So they are more alike than different from the previous city councils that were supposedly oppressing the minority. So why are we doing this again? Just like affirmative action, it's become a grift.

218 Judge Smith wrote, "Likewise, the minimal wiggle-room in Texas’s statutorily mandated elections process means that Texas is faced with an impossible dilemma should this injunction go through, extend the filing deadline for candidates threatening the integrity of their ballot preparation process or keep the original deadline and disadvantage or outright bar cash-poor political candidates across the state from qualifying as congressional candidates."

This, it seems is the crux of why Judge Brown dragged out issuing the preliminary injunction: to make sure that additional Texas Republicans will never make it the House in the upcoming mid-term elections thus increasing the chances that the House flips to the Democrats. Plus Judge Brown must have had a wide eyed understanding of California's efforts to redistrict Republican election chances out of existence.

All this goes to prove that the Texas redistricting was done for partisan reasons even if the actor here was a judge with Stage 4 TDS with a singular goal of gutting Trump's presidency.

222 They said that you don't have to obey an illegal order. They, further, said that you were, in fact, required to disobey illegal orders.

Both of these statements are true, correct, and in keeping with military law.

They went on to say that they'd have your back if you obeyed the UCMJ which was a meaningless bit of nothing.

And, as far as I can tell, the biggest outcome of this is a bunch of internet commenters soiling themselves over it. As they intended.

Nope. The way it's being presented is if a soldier thinks/feels like the order is illegal, he doesn't have to obey. The language they use is intentional to stir up turbulence within the ranks.

Olivia Nuzzi's Got a Fuzzi and She Wants All the World to See It

Olivia Nuzzi is -- then was -- and now is again a fantastically overpromoted "journalist."

I first noticed her suddenly appearing everywhere in media about six or eight years ago. I didn't understand why she was suddenly ubiquitous, as she had broken no major stories. She did cover... Anthony Weiner's mayoral campaign, and got the pretty minor scoop that his campaign manager had quit after he lied to her, I think probably about the affair that was revealed during that campaign.

But that's not really enough to make a media star, is it? She seemed to be yet another "on author" attitudinal writer, mostly writing slightly-disguised opinion pieces in which the primary point of view was her own and the primary subject was always herself.

She was Wonkette with a more aggressive agent.

She recently had a fall from grace -- a brief and shallow fall from grace -- when her former fiance, the damp liberal cuckold Ryan Lizza, revealed that she had been having a torrid "digital affair" -- which is a nice way of saying "sexting and dirty pictures with mutual masturbation" -- with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., while writing a piece about him. And, liberals spat: as she was writing unfavorably about his then-opponent, Joe Biden.

The left hissed that this breached journalistic ethics but may I ask: what journalistic ethics? What the fuck are you even talking about?

Yes, she had a conflict of interest in that she had an emotional attachment to the subject she was writing about and therefore a bias against his political rivals.

Which she did not disclose.

This is true of the entire media, which has been having an equally torrid "digital affair" (and often, a physical one) with the Democrat Party for decades.

Yes, Olivia Nuzzi should have disclosed that she was unable to evaluate RFKJr. objectively.

And so should "former" Democrat aide and Gun Control, Inc. spokesman Jake Tapper declare that he, too, in unable to cover the object of his passionate affections with the level of objectivity the media used to pretend to require.

Anyway. Olivia Nuzzi's back in the news. She served the briefest exile from "journalism" -- I think she was fired and exiled from "journalism" for, what, a year? -- and is now hired again to be celebrity gossip sheet and reactionary liberal rag Vanity Fair's west coast editor.

She also sat for an "interview" with the New York Times as public relations for her return to "journalism."

And she's written a book, which I assume is mostly about her adventures in celebrity dick-riding.

Vanity Fair excerpted it. Here, she deploys all her Airport Thriller skill as a novelist, by which I mean she can't write worth a f**, to wax eloquently about... the worm that died in RFKJr.'s head, and how she learned to hate that worm and love that worm.

Later, when the affair turns cold and RFKJr. seems uninterested, she complains:

Okay, that one is not real, that one is a parody of Nuzzi's breathlessly-indiscreet style by a guy calling himself "Magilla." But I chuckled when I read that and I have to admit it took me in. I wanted you to have that same pleasure.

And given Nuzzi's actual writing, can you really blame me for falling for it?

Her former fiance, Ryan Lizza, himself an overpromoted left-wing "journalist" but nearly to the extent of his almost-wife, was a cuck before he was actually a cuckold. To fire back at Nuzzi, and maybe to anticipate nasty things she has to say about him (she has accused him of "hacking" her email and stalking her), Lizza has just dropped another piece about his former bed-partner, and it's... well it's something.

I don't know if I really appreciate this vengeance-by-online-trashing kind of article, but I can't say he doesn't reveal a few things about Olivia Nuzzi, and answer questions I had, like "How did this low-talent nothing who looks like Faye Dunaway -- and when I say that understand that I do not find Faye Dunaway actually attractive, just... "strking" -- suddenly become the It Girl of the leftwing media?"

The answer may surprise you.

Or, if you've followed the career of MSNBC's -- excuse me, MS NOW's -- Katie Tur, it might not surprise you all that much.

Lizza begins with some bad attempts to sound like a trash novelist. In this, he's competing with Olivia Nuzzi herself, who's also now attempting to sound like a bad trash novelist. They're competing to see who can get Harold Robbins to roll over in his grave the most vigorously.

Olivia had just returned from a reporting trip--at least that's what she told me it was--and her Herschel backpack, the one with the flap that never quite closed properly, was tossed beside our bed, its contents scattered on the floor.
That's when I noticed the sheets of Kimpton Hotel stationery that would alter the course of our lives.
It is surreal now to think back to that room, the one overlooking the courtyard garden that became a metaphor for our decade-long entanglement. It was dazzling during spring's full bloom and foreboding when winter stripped all signs of life. And lurking underground, way in the back, was the invasive bamboo, which grows like a cancer, and if not tamed, would march through the entire courtyard and kill everything.

Your metaphors are strained and gay. And how did we move from deciduous trees to bamboo? Pick an arboreal lane, Sir.

I spent hours hacking at the sprouts to keep the bamboo at bay, just as I had with all the secrets that Olivia and I shared.

Any chance we're going to get off the bamboo metaphor any time soon?

I tried to poison the roots, cut off the supply of water and nutrients, and repair the underground wall meant to halt their advance. I should have known that it was futile and that, at some point, the bamboo would take over the garden, and that's all anyone would see.

Okay, so this is what we're doing now. This is about bamboo now.

This is a story of bamboo.

I can still picture the hotel paper and reporting notepads spilling into the walk-in closet, where a year earlier I had spent an afternoon on my knees carefully arranging scores of her boots, high heels, sneakers, and slippers on an enormous shoe rack.
Olivia almost cried when she saw the results. "Nobody has ever done anything like that for me," she said.
It is tempting now to forget those moments, to see it as a lost decade, and to cast her as a cartoon villain. After all, she deceived me for a year and smeared me with false allegations. And not just little lies but big fantastical falsehoods-- blackmail!, (A former child actor, Olivia always had a keen sense for the dramatic.) She orchestrated a plot with the help of a senior Trump official to try to have me imprisoned, and now she's written what appears to be a largely fictitious and self-serving account about it all.
So, yes, I have reason to be annoyed, maybe even a little angry.

She was a former child actor? I don't see anything about that on IMDB, except for an appearance on Billions, which I assume was one of those grating journalist-appears-as-herself things.

Wikipedia does offer this:

In 2010, Nuzzi, as "Livvy," released a song titled "Jailbait," as part of an attempt to launch a music career.

Jailbait? That's going to be very relevant soon.

Some math tells me that Nuzzi, born in 1993, would be 17 or 18 when she recorded "Jailbait" as "Livvy."

Maybe she did her child acting work under a different name, and wants to keep that out of the press. Maybe Lizza will tells us more about it in future reports. (This is Part 1.)

Enough about Lizza's style. Here's his first dirt-drop, the first actually interesting facts he has to disclose.

But first: More fucking bamboo.

Amor fati, the Stoics advised--love your fate. I have admired that sentiment more than I have practiced it, but that's the spirit that will guide this series of posts. You have one life, so find beauty and humor and wisdom even in the seemingly darkest and most embarrassing chapters.
Besides, like bamboo, the truth has a way of forcing itself out into the open. And in this case, the true story is more bizarre, and ultimately more illuminating about politics and media and love, than anything I've ever covered, let alone experienced.

Do we have all that out of our systems now?

I just got an email:

I'm RIVETED.
Signed,
A panda

Okay, on to the actual dirt.

Remember when I said "Jailbait" would soon be important?

I wasn't just saying that. I wasn't just providing roughage and filler to this post without providing real nourishment. I was offering a scaffolding to the next disclosure.

Like stalks of bamboo, perhaps. (The panda told me to work that in.)

[I] was used to cleaning up Olivia's messes.
Not that long ago, I had helped her untangle herself from an unusual relationship with Keith Olbermann, the former MSNBC host.

What? This is an Olbermann story now?

The twists! The turns!

Keith is tall and plain and rigid and quivers in the wind.

Like, say, bamboo.

She had messaged him out of the blue. They started talking, and soon after, she fled her unhappy home in suburban New Jersey and started living with Keith in Manhattan. He paid for her to attend college, outfitted her in Tom Ford and Hervé Léger dresses and some $15,000 worth of Cartier jewelry.

She started living with him just out of college?

When she was 17 or 18?

When she was recording "Jailbait"?

This Keith Olbermann, huh?

Later, he covered her rent and furnished her apartment in a doorman building in the West Village. While Keith, who was 34 years older, was generous, there were strings attached.

What do you call it when an older man pays the rent for a much, much younger college student and expects "strings" in return?

I guess you could call it a Sugarbaby/Money-Daddy situation.

You can also call it a kissing cousin of de facto prostitution.

Olbermann himself brags that he did most of Katie Tur's work for her -- he claims he wrote her articles and edited them into a comprehensible state. So he seems to often providing money or service in kind for his much-younger SugarBabies.

Olivia had concealed the relationship from me and other friends...

This sounds like prostitution.

On the other hand, I can't blame her. Who wants a sexual relationship with Keith "This is the finger I write my Special Comments with?" Olbermann publicly known?

And if you're not a long-enough reader to get that -- a long time ago, one of his fans wrote a blog-post about him having taken her to a hotel to have sex with her. After he... digitally pleasured her, and this time I don't mean by use of a computer, he triumphantly held up his finger and boasted, "This is the finger I write my Special Comments with!"

Allegedly.

But who are we kidding?

...but one day she told me everything--too much, actually--and together we hatched a plan for her escape.

To escape the Olbermann-fronted apartment, they built a long but sturdy ladder out of ten stalks of bamboo.

Or at least, I like to imagine that's what they did. I have a feeling it was more boring than that. I would guess that Lizza had to front money to pay for her new, non-Olbermann-fronted apartment. He doesn't confirm that but I'm seeing a pattern with this Nuzzi woman. She climbs and advances chiefly on her back.

Now I will give away the main interesting fact divulged by this article. This is a spoiler, because, while Lizza's actual style is dogshit, he does in fact structure this vengeance piece to have a payoff and punchline.

So you can read it now if you like. Otherwise, I'm going to ruin it for you.

Throughout the article he leads you to believe that when he speaks of Nuzzi's return from the Kimpton Hotel, he's about to talk about his realization that she had an affair with RFKJr. Let me credit him, he builds to this well. He crafts a fine, sturdy structure of bamboo held together firmly by strips of bamboo-skin, flattened and scraped-out to serve as fine ligatures.

No but really, he keeps talking about Nuzzi's penchant for older men, for older male political men, and particularly for older male politicians with presidential ambitions. He talks about her having indiscreet relations with sources she's writing about.

And then you think, ah, the final piece of the bamboo puzzle. He's about to discover her affair with RFKJr.

As he approaches that, we get this, Ryan Lizza's bad writing framing Olivia Nuzzi's bad writing:

But one mess at a time. As I tidied up the desk, something on the Kimpton stationery caught my eye. I started to read.
"If I swallowed every drop of water from the tower above your house," Olivia had written, "I would still thirst for you."
Unfortunately, the lack of a water tower on our Georgetown home's roof ruled me out as the note's intended recipient.

But it's not RJKJR. That comes in later part.

This part is about him discovering, in 2020, after she traveled to South Carolina to "interview" another politician involved in a sex scandal, that she apparently had an affair with...

(...last chance to read it before the spoiler...)

She later explained to me that she became "infatuated" with him after their interview, that she couldn't get him out of her head, and that as her obsession intensified, she sent him increasingly risqué pictures and texts, secretly followed him on the campaign trail when she told me she was out covering other candidates, and fantasized about a rendezvous, which was consummated at his home in South Carolina one night after she went dark on me and made up a story about how she was dealing with a crisis concerning her sick mother.
I was sure our relationship was over. And certainly our book project was dead. She had crossed a journalistic red line. How could we write a book about the presidential campaign if Olivia had a sexual relationship with one of the candidates?
I looked at the date on her aborted letter to "Mark": March 5, 2020--just a few days ago.
I called my agent.
"We have a big problem," I said. "Olivia is sleeping with Mark Sanford."

...Mark Sanford.

You remember him, right? The Republican governor who disappeared from work without notice for a week or two only to later be found in the company of an Argentinian woman whom he later abandoned his wife for?

So that's Part 1, and we're only up to 2020. I imagine we will have multiple parts and multiple bouts of shameless infidelity before we reach 2024 and Nuzzi's "digital affair" with RFKJr.

The legend of Olivia Nuzzi's indiscretions grows rapidly -- much like the fast-growing bamboo forests of India.

And I can't lie, I am, like the panda, RIVETED.

Here's my takeaway: We must always TrUsT tHe MeDiA because they are all smart, ethical, informed, well-socialized, of unimpeachable character and powerful moral fiber (bamboo-like, one might say) and most of all sane, and have no biases at all that they routinely hide from the public.

Oh, and there's this:

46 Short synopsis:

Nuzzi is literally a journalist whore.

The End

Posted by: the way I see it at November 19, 2025 04:26 PM (KDPiq)

47 18 Olivia Nuzzi was as overexposed as her vagina. She's a talentless partisan hack. But she's a reasonably attractive talentless partisan hack with no qualms about Kamala-ing her way to success. Women like this are bound to get ahead. It's why see so many of them.

Something like: Female journalist who uncovers a lot of dirt and sleeps with her sources is back in town, so she celebrates with a tell-all interview. Also, tons of journalists are sleeping with each other and, being journalists, they're writing about it.

62 Something to add to the TX redistricting clown judge ruling yesterday:

The "opinion" is 160 pages. That is ridiculous on its face.

It opens by taunting Roberts.
Then, spends huge chunks of the opinion lobbing rocks at the Supreme Court--amplifying the impropriety of the judges earlier this year whining that the Supreme Court doesn't hold their hand enough.

I think that itself is good news. Also, Abbott has already filed the appeal.

Jazzy Jasmine Ratchet went on the House floor and accused all sorts of Republicans of taking money from Epstein. One was Lee Zeldin.

As it turns out, Zeldin did take money from Jeffrey Epstein. A Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, no relation whatsoever with Epstein the pedophile.

And Jazzy Jasmine actually said Zeldin took money "from someone named Jeffrey Epstein", which sort of implies she knew it wasn't *that* Epstein, but someone else.

And, turns out Zeldin had another donor named Jeffrey Epstein, this one the owner of some beverage distribution outfit. Both donations were after *the* Jeffrey Epstein "hanged himself".

That shows the sort of crack research Jazzy Jasmine does. But I think she knew it wasn't the actual Epstein of concern here.

If you gotta go big bore revolver for concealed carry--Charter Arms Bulldog in 44 Special is the long time champ of affordability and concealability. Not the most pleasant recoil but doable.

Otherwise, Plain ole +P 38 Special snubbie revolvers with Gold Dot's Short Barrel ammo are a good call. Ruger, S&W, Kimber, Taurus all play in that field and if you can stand it, a 3 inch barrel versus the 1 7/8 or 2.5 barrel lengths gives a bit more length for sights and more umph for the round.

Don't recommend 9mm in snubbies as you can get bullet jump which is a major malfunction tying up the revolver. There is a reason that revolver ammo is roll crimped instead of tapered.

Alaska has big ass bears plus substance abusing human critters wearing heavy clothes so 45 ACP is a minimum up there.

But never liked the 45 ACP much in 3.5 barrels or shorter. Unpleasant to shoot and mediocre results--9mm is better in that size barrel and pistol for penetration and expandability plus less recoil.

9mm is a very efficient cartridge but it gains minimally from longer barrels.

Hollywood Is Dying and Good Riddance

"Dying" is overstated. But they are experiencing a reduction in status, a loss of wealth and social position, which for almost everyone, and particularly for narcissists, is a deathly bitter pill.

Did hyperfeminization -- combined with cross-sex playacting, as men act like women and women act like men -- contributed to Hollywood's reduction of status?

It's complicated but the answer is emphatically yes with a side-order of Fuck To The Yeah.

So what caused this? Conservative writers Helen Andrews and Joy Pullmann offer a compelling answer: systemic feminization. In a recent essay that has since gone viral, Andrews explains how so many sectors of the economy and academia have been feminized. Not only do women outnumber men in many institutions, but they are imposing a more feminine culture that encourages "empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition."
Although she largely agrees with Andrews's essay, Pullmann notes that this cultural transformation is not a simple switch from masculinity to femininity. Rather, it's more the takeover of a kind of transgenderism (women acting like men and men acting like women) over traditional gender division: "our society has reversed men and women's roles and in so doing abandoned both masculinity and femininity."
The result is a toxic mishmash of values that combines the worst of both. Instead of masculinity and femininity, we get some confused, aggressive, and arbitrarily applied vision of conformity and safetyism at all levels, with little concern for excellence. In such a system, people advance by maintaining the status quo, pleasing the right people, and discrediting rivals who fail to follow the rules. Success is determined by maximizing harmony and collective self-esteem, not by delivering high-quality products consistently and efficiently.
The American entertainment industry was already feminizing (or transgenderizing) since Obama's presidency--say 2008 onward--but this transformation was made complete by the #MeToo movement 10 years later. In a matter of weeks, serious male filmmakers and producers were canceled and replaced by less offensive substitutes (usually women) willing to compromise quality to push a political message. Perhaps there was some nominal cleaning up of Hollywood as a result of this, and perhaps it helped to empower some unfairly neglected women, but it all came at the heavy cost of ceasing to produce movies and shows that normal people would care to watch.

The palm-fingering Weird Sisters of the gay Oz movie have been put on hold, possibly because the studio just doesn't want them weirding the public out before the second part of Wicked debuts.

Wacko Wicked Press Tour Put on Ice After Erivo's Voice Fails and Grande Opts Out "In Solidarity" -- Did Universal Pull the Plug on Weird Interviews?
November 18, 2025

The Wicked: For Good [the part two sequel] press tour was abruptly suspended in New York City just days before the movie's release, with Hollywood outlets claiming Cynthia Erivo "lost her voice" and Ariana Grande refused to continue press appearances without her.
But the official narrative isn't sitting well with online observers. After all, since when does a singer temporarily losing her voice require a full-blown solidarity pact from her co-star, complete with the studio shutting down scheduled interviews?
It's a question fans, influencers, and industry watchers have been asking nonstop since the news broke. Speculation has only intensified because the Wicked press tour had already become something of a spectacle for reasons Universal probably didn't anticipate.
Long before the Wicked: For Good press tour was pulled, fans noticed something unusual about the promotional circuit. Instead of straightforward discussions about the film, fans were treated to a highlight reel of baffling moments featuring Grande and Erivo seemingly locked in their own private wavelength -- one that didn't always translate to the rest of the audience. Or, you know, Planet Earth...

Here, a dirty man vigorously shook Ariana Grande's hand in a "hail the victor" sort of way. She pretended her arm was injured, and her lesbian co-star kissed it to "make it better." This guy isn't a rando; it's Marc Platt, producer of the movie. He's promoting the movie, too.

Erivo always seems on the edge of a panic attack or nervous breakdown so Ariana Grande is always soothing her with uncomfortab-to-look-at hand holding.

Sometimes it's just finger-holding.

If it sounds like I'm implying a lesbian relationship, I'm not necessarily claiming that. But I am claiming that they are definitely putting on a show of lesbian touching for the largely-gay fan base of the movie. Almost every gay-crazy twitter account is celebrating this touchy-touchy cringefest, some saying "We're winning!" As in, "gays and lesbians are winning, just look at these Hollywood adult pretenders engaging in lesbian hand-play." Erivo is a very out lesbian, and Ariana Grande is either a convert or else is just role-playing. Gay 4 Pay, as they say.

Below, the lesbian-coded pair celebrate each other's "auras" and Cynthia Erivo has some kind of mental crisis over hearing a helicopter overhead. Ariana Grande responds by, as usual, touching her and soothing her.

Below, Rainn Wilson says that he spoke with his liberal friends about the Charlie Kirk assassination and they said "no tears shed" and otherwise praised/supported the execution. Wilson objects (and thank goodness, otherwise I couldn't enjoy Dwight's antics as much).

Mark Ruffalo seems to argue with him, stating that if you support gun rights you are "tacitly" blessing gun violence. He is implying that Kirk got what he deserved.

He claims his brother was "murdered" and is a "victim of gun violence," which is... very debatable. More on that after the video.

Actor Mark Ruffalo then went on to blame the assassination on guns.

Pathetic. pic.twitter.com/uth3KwFLMT
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) September 18, 2025

Via Cecil Says, declaring Ruffalo to be "the biggest piece of shit in Hollywood."

Was Mark Ruffalo's brother "murdered"?

Well -- he was shot in the head, but the initial ruling was suicide or an "accidental discharge." He had mental problems and a near-witness present with him on the night of his death says that he talked about playing Russian Roulette before she left.

A coroner later claimed that the entry point of the bullet was more consistent with a shooting, but others dispute that.

And this is important: Despite the police knowing who was present in the room when the gun came to fire into Scott Ruffalo's head, the "homicide" remains unsolved.

Unsolved? With a suspect list of two or three people?

That sounds more to me like they're saying they cannot tell if it was a suicide or an "accident" or just playing Russian Roulette, but a connected family can't accept the suicide ruling -- most families reject a suicide ruling, but most families don't have a Hollywood celebrity to make noise about it -- so the police are claiming this easily-solved homicide is "unsolved." (Suicides are a subcategory of homicide -- death by the hand of another person.)

Ruffalo is definitely attempting to make this All About Me and also suggest that Charlie Kirk essentially died by his own hand, because he supported people's right to carry guns for self-defense against left-wing criminals.

Since I'm doing a Hollywood post, I'll link this, but I continue to be as unimpressed by Bill Maher as I always have been. Once I was unimpressed by him because he was a comedian who just wasn't funny -- and couldn't stop laughing at his unfunny jokes -- and now I'm also unimpressed by his ability to sometimes not deny the undeniable.

On the other hand, Patton Oswalt is also aggressively unfunny but also continues to deny the undeniable.

This is Bill Maher at his best.

@overton_news
This is Bill Maher at his best.
Maher dragged Patton Oswalt out of his bubble and forced him to confront the brutal reality of the UK's immigration crisis.
He exposed the horrifying details of Muslim grooming gangs, while Oswalt tried to play dumb.
Maher didn't let him.
MAHER: "What's going on in England right is a lot of that."
OSWALT: "What's going on in England?"
MAHER: "Again, not in the bubble...a lot of violence, protests, immigration."
"Andrew Sullivan, for example, says places that my grandfather would not even recognize anymore as British."
"Like, immigration is great, anything can be too much. It's become 'Islamicized' to put it briefly."
Oswalt tried to hand-wave it away.
OSWALT: "Anything can be too much, but a lot of times the way that things are framed and represented, is also amplified so that they can make their point."
Maher hit him with the bombshell.
MAHER: "But do you know about...the grooming scandal?"
OSWALT: "No."
MAHER: "See, that's a big story!"
He then laid out the details the left refuses to confront:
"I'm talking about Pakistani men, who were immigrants, who were grooming poor, impoverished White girls, mostly, and making them into prostitutes and sex slaves."
"Like really nasty shit, that would pass for more normal in a traditional Pakistani society, where women are not considered equal citizens."
Maher then delivered his most devastating point:
"And if you don't understand that, and that gender apartheid is the number one issue that you woke people should be concerned with, but seem not to be, then right away we're not really seeing the world as the same way."
"I'm seeing it much more clearly."
"Gender apartheid should be your NUMBER ONE issue, if you really care about oppression, like a lot...I'm talking about hundreds of millions of the world's women."
"And it's mostly because of the tenets of Islam, to be perfectly honest about it."
"In the interest of DEI, they are allowing practices that are so illiberal--which is the great irony--this is the LEAST liberal thing you could be is treating women as a second-class citizen and getting away with shit like this."

24 "If it sounds like I'm implying a lesbian relationship, I'm not necessarily claiming that. But I am claiming that they are definitely putting on a show of lesbian touching for the largely-gay fan base of the movie. "

I have a different view. The black girl is totally mentally ill and couldn't be more lesbian than if she ate out the entire WNBA. Ariana is straight.

When you see the weird finger-fucking thing going on, it's always the black girl that initiates, and Ariana looks awkward. I don't think she wants to do it. I think she's doing it only because she thinks she has to.

Posted by: Smell the Glove at November 19, 2025 03:26 PM (bfwj/)

26 That Patton Oswalt clip is more important for another reason.

If he is telling the truth, (I have doubts) he is saying that the bubble he lives in is perfectly protected from the dystopia that the Left is inflicting on the world.

I talked about this a few days ago - social media has created these individualized bubbles and forget about AI, just with control of feeds (and comment feeds) they can make people think and believe anything.

This is immensely powerful to control how people vote, and what they accept -- like islamic conquest.

Shortly after the time of the coming of the mocha messiah, it appeared that everything had to be politicized. Didn't matter if it was a cheeseburger, your favorite show, a car company, whatever.

Everything had to have some statement against the evil white, heterosexual patriarchy. They destroyed so many formerly relaxing and enjoyable pursuits like sportsball and turned them into woke-scold lead struggle sessions.

People talk about black fatigue, homo fatigue, feminist fatigue, etc. People are sick of all of it.

If I can be guaranteed to be frustrated, disappointed, and angry to a high degree of certainty about an entertainment choice, then I am going to avoid it and spend my time finding almost any other thing to entertain myself.

39 Being as it's a Hollywood thread, someone mentioned a remake of Barbarella last thread, with Sydney Sweeney. Of course I've seen the original a couple of times, but on reflection the only good thing to come out of it was an 80's band name.
The original had a unique look, coming as it did out of French sci-fi, but on reflection had one of the most stupid and pointless storylines in any movie ever made. A lot of wild characters, a lot of bizarre scenes, and at the end all of them are killed - good, bad, innocent, guilty - while Barbarella and the "Evil Dictator" float off into some kind of Lesbian Nirvana while this brain dead and neutered "angel" becomes their slave.

well that's French fantasy for ya.

Guess what? She's not real! AI.Which is a bummer.

We never go to theaters and wait til it streams. For several reasons, but two being I don't like to be in the dark with strangers anymore in a theater; and I also won't pay to see nitwits not entertain me.

With streaming you can pick and choose or bail.

Wes Ball isn't exactly some cinematic genius, but Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was pretty decent.

Also, he's said that his main inspiration is Miyazaki, and they're filming in New Zealand to try and capture some Lord of the Rings magic visually.

And Nintendo is protective of their heroes and properties.

She almost certainly is. Arianda has been open about her depression and anxiety (and other mental illness) for years now. I assume she's drugged up 90% of the time. She certainly looks it. It's like watching the old interviews of rock stars when they're clearly high as fuck.

107 I dunno. I think the online commentariat is the new Hollywood. Largely a bunch of vapid, banal, bleating sensationalists, with phony sources that only exist in their minds, and takes on the issues that makes someone even slightly intellectual punch themselves in the face. I don’t know who appointed a lot of these people as influencers or influential. Because a lot of what they bleat isn’t the product of knowledge they acquired from reading or doing the slightest bit of factual, structured thinking. It’s sort of some slovenly, overwrought, usually sophistic diatribe or brain fart they believe may get a few clicks, convince idiots they have something useful to say or ultimately- line their bank account. I could go down the list, but we’d be here a long time as I find very few people believable, intellectually consistent, well informed, unbiased or just completely off their nutter.

When digital slots came out in the 90s, they figured out how to keep people engaged. Always make them feel like they are about to win, but never let them win more than they play. With digital, they could do A/B testing and look at when people gave up on a machine. They created an addictive gameplay.

Social media does the same - they feed you things that make you feel the need to keep playing - anger, self righteousness, etc. It creates disharmony. If they told Lefties that their TDS was irrational, they would put down the phone so they always reinforce tribalism and self glorifying delusions. Same with trans, green, immigration, etc.

I'm thinking... not.

Even if generation is cheap as dirt, you still have to pay for the line maintenance and repair, replacement wires and transformers, and whatever else goes into the incredibly dangerous job of getting power from where it's generated to where it's used.

It's like the guy who said 'People shouldn't have water bills because water is free". Your "water bill" isn't paying for water. It's paying for the water to be pumped out of the ground of the river, cleaned, filtered, and delivered to a tap in your house, and drained out in a way that doesn't cause disease outbreaks.

You want "free" water, you have to collect it yourself, clean it yourself, dispose of it yourself.

One more Hot Take from me:

Jean Claude Van Damme (JCVD) makes GREAT movies.

"Knock Offs" could've been one of the all-time best ever with a little more budget.

What's your favorite JCVD movie?

Posted by: Soothsayer's School of Local Fake News at November 19, 2025 04:03 PM (Y9x1x)

243 Only Hollywood would say: “This film should cost $3M… so let’s make it $70M and give Julia Roberts 20 of it.”

It costs too much to go to the movies and movies come to streaming too quickly. I seem to remember it being like 6 months to a year before a movie came out on dvd.

Covid was an eye opener for me and my wife when it comes to going out to the movies. We found we didn't really miss going to the theatre that much and we really didn't mind not having to spend ~$80 to go.

No one wants to admit the obvious: Films today are just much lower in quality. It's all remakes, sequels and reboots, and nothing of quality, original production. And the quality of streaming service shows and production is getting better every year.

Is this another long winded, very general way of complaining that movies have gotten woke or do you have maybe some actual, specific points and complaints on what you think it is that's this 'decline in quality' as you call it.

But...Grande just want on to big and better things. I think its fair to assume she did NOT say no...

276 Obviously, owning "Wicked", as Marc Platt does, is a huge money maker, but the family is remarkable.

Marc Platt's son starred in the "Pitch Perfect" movies and was the star of "Evan Hanson", a decent coming of age musical on Broadway, and another son starred in "Wicked" on Broadway. His wife is another power player in Hollywood, and a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania.

Tolerating Ariana Grande's antics must be difficult for someone as accomplished as Platt.

Back in the day when I was little kid, the glitters had nails so long they couldn't open car doors to get in the IROC-Zs. So an enterprising company started making these little "lever" things that they could use to open the doors.

360 It's this sort of disconnect from human psyche to shoe-horn gay relationship crap into EVERYTHING that make sit so dumb.

Recently I watched 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' on a recommendation, 9 part Netflix mini-series. It was fine but...

-Spoilers-

The main character is haunted by her deceased fiance the bulk of the series. This person fell in love with her fiance as a kid, high school sweethearts, engaged to be married when they were adults. She calls it off and he gets killed and she feels the guilt, thus the haunting.

The story in the series takes place literally weeks later and she's in a lesbian tryst in episode 2 or 3. Yes, a woman he loved a guy so much for years that she's haunted by him, can't wait to hop in bed with the first attractive lez and lick box.

It's so out of line with how a human mind would work. But they got that virtue signaled, so all is well I guess.

ICE Targets Charlotte, NC for Illegal Alien Arrests; Thirty Thousand Students In Public Schools Stay Home

Does this mean that around 30,000 of Charlotte's public school students are illegals or children of illegals? I think it does. I did not hear of any leftist campaign to Keep Your Kids Home as a protest. This was organic.

Note the number claimed earlier was 20,000, but it appears to be 30,000.

Almost 20% of the school population appears to be illegal alien children.

All paid for by American taxpayers.

On Monday, Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools saw a tremendous number of absences, nearly 20% of students, shortly after ICE showed up in town and illegal migrant communities became afraid of going out in public.

Nearby district, Wake County, told illegals that it will have teachers deliver Zoom lessons so that they can stay home to evade ICE.

Congressman Pat Harrigan
@RepPatHarrigan
Charlotte has 900,000 residents, and more than 150,000 are foreign nationals, which comes out to roughly one in six people.
When a city carries numbers like that, it shows up everywhere. Uptown murders are up 200 percent. Aggravated assaults with knives or guns climbed from 86 to 111 year over year. Strong-arm robberies went from 26 to 31 in the same period. Families feel the strain in housing, in classrooms, and in basic public safety.
That is the environment @CBP walked into because the scale of the population shift and the rise in violent crime have outpaced what local agencies can handle on their own.
A city cannot function when the pressure points stack up like this. Charlotte has to put the safety of its residents first or the numbers will keep getting worse, no matter who pretends otherwise.

One illegal injured an officer by "weaponizing his car." I guess a new euphemism for "running down a cop" has dropped.

One person was injured after a vehicle was used to attack Department of Homeland Security agents performing a crackdown on illegal immigrants in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday.
"his afternoon in Charlotte near University City, a United States citizen weaponized his vehicle, driving a large van at law enforcement while they were conducting an operation," DHS posted on X.

The officer is reported to be in stable and culturally-enriched condition.

On the other hand: X users report that there is almost no traffic in Charlotte.

1,400 serious criminal illegal aliens were targeted, but, as usual, when Democrats refuse to cooperate with ICE to turn over the serious criminals, ICE and Border Patrol have to go looking for them, and they wind up arresting less serious criminal illegals because of it.

More than 1,400 detainers were ignored, which put repeat violent offenders right back into Charlotte�s neighborhoods.

Democrat Roy Cooper -- formerly a governor, now running for Senate -- is complaining about the 1,400 hardened criminals being arrested.

Criminals, DHS points out, that he he himself has previously shielded from deportation.

The Department of Homeland Security issued an unusually sharp and highly public rebuke of U.S. Senate candidate and former North Carolina Democratic Governor Roy Cooper after he criticized federal immigration enforcement operations in Charlotte. Cooper wrote on social media that while he supports using federal resources to deport violent offenders, he opposes "randomly sweeping up people based on what they look like," warning that such tactics could leave dangerous criminals at large while harming families and the economy.
DHS immediately fired back, using its official X account to highlight the case of Jordan Renato Castillo-Chavez, a Costa Rican national whom North Carolina authorities had previously declined to transfer to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). DHS described Castillo-Chavez as a "criminal illegal alien" with a record that includes indecent liberties with a child, first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and solicitation of a child via computer. The agency's message to Cooper was pointed: "North Carolina refused to hand him over to ICE."

Related: Tom Homan promises that the City of International Law, New York City will soon be targeted as well.

Yes. It seems a vast majority of the construction projects started around the US is simply to give the illegals jobs. Jobs they can do because the only job provided by the Mexican government is pouring concrete. Visualized by the construction in Mexico's bigger cities that have building being constructed next to vacant buildings because there aren't enough businesses to fill the buildings they already have.

I strongly suspect that the housing crisis, the supply side, has been overblown. Builders have been overbuilding for years. Lenar started cutting into its margins instead of slowing down in the face of inflation over the last few years.

What the main driver has been was 16 million new people imported from 2021 to 2024 plus their subsidies from governments at all levels eating up both rents and mortgage spaces (yes,...there are programs to help illegals get mortgages).

Fixing immigration is going to fix a lot of what's wrong in current day America.

19 I was in NC a few weeks ago. Flew into Charlotte and then drove around the Asheville area. I was shocked at how many obvious illegals there were, even in the more rural areas. The supermarkets were crawling with them, and so much of the goods and signage was in Spanish.

I expect to see this shit in big blue cities. I didn't expect to see it in rural reddish areas. Same thing in South Carolina.

I think probably 1/4 to 1/3 of the entire population of the country is now illegal. Not joking.

20 These cities WANT the photo ops of detainers and arrests bc it helps them politically. If they cared about the immigrants they would help them get back home and reapply.

And schools are a big part of this. I have heard stories that in SoCal people from the school district went to Asia and talked up immigration to their school district, and the people came. The didn't want to lose their jobs with the falling enrollment.

It was "officially 12 million" in the 90s but most said closer to 20 or 30. 50 million is a lot of people, and most are going to be in cities like charlotte

I strongly suspect that the housing crisis, the supply side, has been overblown. Builders have been overbuilding for years. Lenar started cutting into its margins instead of slowing down in the face of inflation over the last few years.

What the main driver has been was 16 million new people imported from 2021 to 2024 plus their subsidies from governments at all levels eating up both rents and mortgage spaces (yes,...there are programs to help illegals get mortgages).

Having been in real estate, both as a lawyer to investors and an investor myself, a big part of the problem with real estate development (especially on the larger scales) is that you are making decisions now for a project that won't open for at least five years. It takes that long to go from idea to plans to endless approvals to building to selling. Anything can -- and does -- change in those five years.

Overnight, NC became a magnet for every illegal in the US of A. It hasn't stopped. NC businesses loved illegal immigrants, especially the food processing plants and other ag-related enterprises. As North Carolina became more industrialized, the illegal hiring shifted to hospitality, commercial trucking, construction, and maintenance work.

132 I am trying to unpack this stuff. So ICE comes to town to arrest criminal illegals and 40,000 kids stay home from school because mom and dad were told by the media "orange man bad" and your kids will be arrested at school and deported even though they are citizens. The vast majority of these kids are not illegal so they have nothing to fear from ICE.

-------------

I ran the demographic numbers on this many years ago. With births, legal immigration, amnesty, etc. I think I got a number between 225 and 250 million "legitimate" citizens. That was probably 10 years go, so a few more now. Of course, many illegals have kids and those are now citizens so you end up with something higher. That number is very difficult to determine since I could find no way to see how many people born are only citizens due to the birthright citizenship lie.

Last week, they had 3 different vehicles stop by and do some various work. One was a 2000's model Chevy Silverado towing a 12' high wall trailer. The open areas were filled with OSB that had seen it's share of rain. One side had the word "LANDSCAPE" spray painted on the wood.

Not sure since I've just driven it, not lived near it. Maybe a MDer knows but I thought there were 3 highway ways to get from north to south on 95...and taking out the bridge took out one and made the port less useful for goods coming in/out.

they do it very badly. But fast.
You know the saying, for any job, pick two: Fast, cheap or right.

But three guys doing a bad job--that gets done quick--is still cheaper to the contractor than 1 guy who does it well and right.

Because the cost of that shitty job doesn't fall on the contractor--it falls on you:
You get to pay for more frequent road repairs
You get to pay for a shitty-built house that falls apart.

My old company, small software company, set up a team to use AI as a major tool in development.

After a year, they had literally nothing. No tools at all, that would do what was originally intended.

"Write me code that does this specific thing. Okay, now I'm going to test this code to make sure it works," is one thing. "Copilot, build me a codebase for a brand new product" is something else.

The latter requires a dreamer and nothing else. The former requires engineers.

Troons ruin everything.

Posted by: XTC

In the case of Cloudfare, it was something simple--the file that composed of the botnet protection portion of their services was larger than the allowed file size. So when the new file was sent across the servers, it borked them which then took down client websites across the world using that protection.

Similar to Crowdstrike outage which did something similar with its virus definition files.

Configuration error, not coding. And in both cases rolling back to the older files caused the servers to function again.

Some States are even trying to embed DEI ideology into AI models, producing "Woke AI" (Remember Black George Washington?). We MUST have one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes.

If we don't, then China will easily catch us in the AI race. Put it in the NDAA, or pass a separate Bill, and nobody will ever be able to compete with America.

For schools: the Charlotte taxpayer funded the bill for translators. Thanks to GWB, the goals of education were brought down to rock bottom as "inclusive." To hell with kids who achieve and have to deal with this.

For construction: cheap wages. They were building on the cheap without consequences...yet. Same for poultry and meat farms: cutting corners vs quality products.

Charlotte lib politicians: you got caught peddling and encouraging this.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 19, 2025 02:52 PM (npFr7)
- - - - - - - - -
The Francis Scott Key Bridge is part of "I695", also known as The Beltway. Rather than a N/S or a E/W main road, it's a circular track around the city of Baltimore, Md. Specifically, it crosses over the Chesapeake bay on the SE side.

The problem is that, to get from one end of the bay to the other, from the south side to the east side (and vice-versa), the bridge was the shortest distance between those two points. Now it isn't, due to a sudden, critical failure to exist. The alternatives are to go through the I95 tunnel, the I895 tunnel, or travel through the city of Baltimore (the crack tunnel). Those options existed before. But now they're the only options, which makes traffic even worse during rush hours.

Too many companies are racing to be THE AI company and unwisely spending massive amounts on acquiring depreciating chips and machines by outbidding their competitors. Similar to the Web 1.0 collapse where the logistics for home delivery for everything under the sun simply did not exist in a way to make the companies profitable.

What is misleading called AI is actually something called machine learning and it has been around awhile (remember Watson and Chess games against humans). So worthy now for niche areas--animation, improving error fixing on visual media, video generation, language translation, and rote summarization of complicated piles of information if a person has the personal knowledge how to correct any errors.

It is not something to bet the farm on when errors/hallucinations are a massive issue so AI driven cars, medicine, law, are much farther away.

Nobody in Mexico is insisting that everyone needs to go to college, and many couldn't afford it anyway, so people learn trades, often generationally. It used to be the same here, but people got obsessed with college educations.

College is where a lot of communist indoctrination takes place, so I think there was a certain amount of intentional push towards college instead of trades, but my parents were very proud that I went to college; it was also definitely considered a step up in life.

I think PDT has fast tracked the opening and building of Nuclear Power Plants. Bezos is building 13 (did I dream this?) small one's in Washington, Three Mile Island is being re-opened.

There is a high probability, considering who is doing it (people like Musk) and the money poured into it that in a few years we will have easily built small reactors anywhere.
They will be a feature in new neighborhoods. Kick 'Big Energy' off your monthly bills.

Joy Reid: I Would Be Alarmed If I Saw a Man's Penis in the Women's Locker Rooms

As background, Joy Reid previously admitted that she was "homophobic," stating that she would "cringe" at the sight of two men kissing, and asserted that most people would, too.

No lies detected.

But here's the lie: As a black leftist, she's allowed to say that, because blacks aren't down with everything gay like white leftists are.

But she got hired by MSNBC, the whitest and leftist of all white leftist organizations.

And when her blog got a fresh look, and her long history of (admitted) "homophobia" and derogatory cracks about then-Republican Charlie Crist being gay-- again, no lies detected -- she began claiming that her blog had been #Hacked, with unknown parties, possibly Russian, inserting homophobic material into her old and little-read blog, just to embarrass her in the future.

This lie was always ludicrous -- she never reported this very serious foreign #Hacking operation to the FBI, for example, because it's a crime to file a false criminal complaint -- so she has come up with a new way to talk about it. She no longer actually says she didn't write these posts, she just implies it, without reviving the ludicrous lie explicitly. Black Conservative Perspective clips this appearance on Piers Morgan in which Joy Reid -- or, as some call her, "Racial Maddow" -- insinuates that she didn't write the post, but admits she's "responsible" for whatever is "on that website." In other words, she didn't write this stuff, but she has so much integrity that she will take "responsibility" for the material that Russian #Hackers planted on her website. She's so full of integrity she'll take some blame for not having detected the #Hacking sooner.

Isn't that big of xer?

But now Racial Maddow is no longer employed by a White Leftist organization and can now go back to being a Black Leftist Commentator, and, get this, it turns out her views now more closely align with those that Russian #Hackers planted on her blog.

She now thinks it's alarming for women to see a penis in their sex-segregated places.

BREAKING: Joy Reid says if she saw a p*nis in the women�s locker room she would freak out

But I was told this is far-right, bigoted, hateful, extremism! pic.twitter.com/QAantE8pwW
— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) November 19, 2025

I guess those Russian #Hackers were not only so capable that they could insert completely-undetectable and untraceable edits into Racial Maddow's old and unread blog, but they were also Psychic, because they could see a future in which the totally-supportive-of-gays Reid would one day change her views to more closely resemble the #Hacked edits.

Posted by: Stu Podaso at November 19, 2025 01:22 PM (ZhbJc)

20 Most websites, blogs, social media accounts, have security logs showing activity.

Should she have been hacked, it would likely be relatively easy to determine whether that was true or not.

Most times, if a hacker gains access to an account, it's via the name and password. If they gain access, it's likely they change the password so the owner can't quickly log in and change / delete the hackers message. This, too, would be logged.

Seems there's never any evidence of a hacking when such nefarious doings happen to leftists accounts.

Yes. Black athlete praises God, it's cool. Tim Tebow? Outrage.

But there is a limit. During the Obama admin (iirc), a group of black pastors tried, unsuccessfully, to have the Smithsonian remove a bust of Margaret Sanger from a civil rights exhibit. No go. Also, no press. Only a Christian paper covered the story of their many attempts and protest outside the museum.

Thesis: The GloboHomo Deep State created and unleashed HIV/AIDS on the primarily male homosexual populations of The World to initially kill off enough of them to achieve a Golden (Showers) Victim Threshold Status, resulting in greatly outsized political influence to such an extent that we elected one half-black Gay Barry as POTUS as well as having a "conservative" SCOTUS Justice see fit to award them Legal Marital Status -- ushering in all the destabilizing Tranny Insanity at present .

96 The Blade got arrested once with this dick out. Well, not really arrested, but the cops showed up.

I was 16 at a monster upstate summer rager with my friends. Nobody over 18. No adults. We were all drunk as fuck. So drunk, in fact, that we were partying on a boat dock/pier and some were so drunk they fell off the dock into the lake.

I was on the dock macking on his hot college girl who was a local and wandered over to the party. Things were going good, so I thought it was a great idea if I dropped my pants. Hell, I was drunk and 16. Seemed like a great idea at the time.

Cops show up like 5 seconds later. If this were today, we'd all be arrested. But back then, the cops were like "put you're fucking dick away and all get back into the house."

He's really getting into it too late.

YouTube has been implementing policies the past few years to make it so that new channels can't make money the way older, grandfathered ones can.

They can still get popular, but they won't be monetized as heavily.

If my calculations are correct, I should be able to monetize by Feb/March. I'll be making a few hundred bucks per month then, and I could potentially grow to a few thousand after a year or so.

Not fabulous wealth. Not Dude Perfect money.

But...enough to justify it as a job in a two-income household where I was always the extra income anyway.

Here's an idea: de-monetize Youtube completely. Take it back to its roots. Sell no ads at all. You post something on Youtube because it pleases you to pass along some ideas or images to other people. If you have a sponsor, and want to make a pitch for that sponsor as a part of the video, fine. Brendan Herrera does this, and he makes it sort of fun; fun enough that I don't scroll past it. Or if you want to sell merch, like the Garage 54 guys do, fine, too. But no ads at all inserted by some Gurgle algorithm. Fuck that nonsense.

Federal Panel of Judges Rules That Republicans Aren't Allowed to Gerrymander in Republican States

...because when you gerrymander to reduce Democrat seats, you're usually also reducing sets dominated by black or Hispanic voters, and these judges say you can never, ever reduce the "impact" blacks or Hispanics can have on elections.

You can, of course, always reduce the impact of white voters, as California just did.

In fact, it's legally required.

A three-judge federal panel ruled that the redrawn Texas congressional redistricting map was "racial gerrymandering" and ordered the state to use 2021 maps for the midterm elections.
Since it's a federal voting rights case, the only appeal is to the Supreme Court. It's unclear whether the high court will have time to rule before the 2026 primary filing deadline next month.
"Any claim that these maps are discriminatory is absurd and unsupported by the testimony offered during ten days of hearings," Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, said in a statement. "This ruling is clearly erroneous and undermines the authority the U.S. Constitution assigns to the Texas Legislature by imposing a different map by judicial edict."
Texas state law allows for partisan gerrymandering. Republicans claimed that the map was being redrawn to give them a partisan advantage and to "better reflect Texans' conservative voting preferences -- and for no other reason," said the governor. The Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that the courts could not intervene if a map was drawn to give one side a partisan advantage.
"The public perception of this case is that it's about politics," U.S. Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote in the ruling. "To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Indeed, it's a lot easier to prove "racial gerrymandering" based on the number of voters of color in a new district compared to the last one. It doesn't matter if many of those black and Hispanic voters would vote Republican. The Voting Rights Act only recognized the color of the voter's skin.

GOP-aligned people filed a lawsuit against the California gerrymander that Gavin Newsom just put into action. They allege that gerrymander is also a racial gerrymander, packing Republican-leaning -- and largely white -- voters into as few districts as possible.

How much do you want to bet that that lawsuit gets laughed out of court, resulting in the de facto rule that Democrats are allowed to gerrymander but Republicans aren't?

...
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was openly gloating about the decision. He had just rammed through his own Democratic redistricting map that would reduce the nine Republicans currently serving in the 52-member California congressional delegation to four.
"Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned -- and democracy won," Newsom said in a statement Tuesday. "This ruling is a win for Texas and for every American who fights for free and fair elections."

We'll see if the Supreme Court accepts cert on an expedited basis. They're already weighing whether or not the leftist-schemer-fabricated, left-wing-judge imposed doctrine of "disparate impact" -- which claims that you can never adopt any law at all which might have a "disparate impact" on black voters, no matter legislative intent -- can still stand.

In the congressional gerrymandering fight between Republicans and Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterm election, a number of states are keeping watch for a potential game changer from the U.S. Supreme Court.
During the rare rehearing of a Louisiana redistricting case in October, the court's conservative majority appeared inclined to weaken the Voting Rights Act's Section 2 protections against racial discrimination in the political mapmaking process.
Such a ruling could spark a new wave of congressional redistricting, especially in the South, where voting is often racially polarized and Section 2 has long prevented the dilution of Black minority voters' collective power. Without the current Section 2 protections, Republican-led southern states may undo districts where Black voters have a realistic opportunity of electing their preferred candidates, who are usually Democrats.
This redrawing could give the GOP a sizable boost, as the party seeks to keep control of the House of Representatives.
When the Supreme Court would release its decision is crucial. Time is running out to redo maps, which have to be finalized ahead of a state's filing deadline for candidates seeking to run in a primary election for the midterms.
"The earlier the decision comes, the more likely the decision is before the date for candidates to declare that they're going to be running, and the more time there is for legislatures to meet and consider maps and redraw their maps," says Nick Stephanopoulos, a professor specializing in election law at Harvard Law School.
The next batch of filing deadlines arrives in December. Still, Stephanopoulos notes these cut-off dates are "just products of state law."
"If a state legislature that's hellbent on gerrymandering wants to do so, it wouldn't be especially surprising if that same legislature delayed the filing deadline, potentially even change the date of the primary election, in order to give themselves enough time to gerrymander," Stephanopoulos says.

As I've already said, I think Roberts is too cowardly to vote this pernicious discriminatory rule down, and Amy Coney Barrett is a liberal-leaning flake who wants her fellow liberals to accept her back into the club.

As if we needed more bad news for 2026-- Indiana RINO liberal Republican state legislators are refusing to redistrict that "red" state. A gerrymander could change the partisan balance of the state delegation from 7 to 2 to 9-0 in favor of Republicans, but "Republicans" are refusing.

President Donald Trump is unleashing his anger at Indiana Senate Republicans for not backing the GOP redistricting effort, posting his displeasure three times to Truth Social in the last 24 hours and calling President Pro Tempore Rod Bray a "Total RINO."
"In the entire United States of America, Republican or Democrat, only Indiana "Republican" State Senator Rod Bray, a Complete and Total RINO, is opposed to redistricting for purposes of gaining additional Seats in Congress," posted Trump on Monday afternoon, who has seen Republican lawmakers in four states now reject his mid-cycle redistricting scheme. In another Monday post, Trump said competitors were lining up to primary Bray.
Bray is not the only Republican in Indiana who doesn't back redistricting. On Monday, Indiana state Sen. Blake Doriot of Goshen issued a statement saying that he was a Trump supporter but that he opposed redistricting.
"I have long been a Trump supporter, and I want President Trump to continue to be successful with a Republican-led House so he can continue fixing our woke colleges, fighting illegal immigration and crime, and encouraging us to speak about our great nation and be proud of who we are as Americans -- not apologize for it," Doriot said in a statement.
The news comes as Trump is set to issue a retributive endorsement as early as Monday against one of a handful Indiana Senate Republicans who opposes the White House's mid-cycle redistricting plan.
Among the holdouts targeted by the White House: Republican state Sen. Jim Buck of Kokomo, who is facing a primary from Tipton County Commissioner Tracey Powell. Trump could back Powell Monday, according to a person familiar with his thinking speaking exclusively with POLITICO, following through on MAGA's and White House allies' long-running threats to primary opponents of their mid-decade redistricting effort intended to protect their slim House majority in the midterms next year.

Welcome to Wednesday. So far, it's not great.

The lower court ruling is in violation of 5th Circuit precedent from last year.

This will get stayed, and the quietly dealt with next year.

And the reading of ACB is just not right. Her adherence to process gives her this air of giving wins to the left, but she keeps siding with us on merits.

53 Yeah, the Texas ruling isn't going to stand. California made race the determining factor and their entire redistricting effort is going to fail because of that - SCOTUS has had just about enough of anything based upon race or sex.

As for Indiana - Trump screwed the pooch there. The Indiana Hose, which is way more MAGA than the Senate wasn't thrilled with Trump's salvos. The Senate essentially told him to get fucked. We run our elections clean, and we worked hard to clean up the mess of district goofiness when the dems ran the state. A little known thing, the democrats ran away from the state to prevent a quorum over an issue I cannot even remember. The voters have still not forgiven them. The dem party in Indiana died that day and has never recovered. The GOP isn't going to go against what they have used as a governing measuring stick. Trump's language made sure they would end up not doing it.

I saw it. I did something similar in HS in the mid-70s when a bunch of us went to Daytona Beach for Spring Break.

Most of us were underage for getting into the bars, but we all brought our driver learner permits with us, even though we all had real DLs. The learner permits were issued on paper, unlike a laminated DL. I changed the birthdate to make us all older than the age restriction. A couple of pencil marks before soaking the paper in water and letting them dry. That's all it took. Every doorman at the bars checking IDs let us in. I was a hero for awhile.

98 I wonder what the maps would look like if they weren't gerrymandered.

The lines drawn by a math based algorithm that balance the number of needed districts with each having a nearly equal population, given some bias to population centers.

In fact you could take many different biases and draw a map for each. Maybe have the people select one by voting on it.

The current system is corrupt. We have tools now that can eliminate biases introduced by special interests.

Why not use them?

The Democrat machine can't rig the primary anymore. They barely pulled it off in 2016 between Hillary, second coming of Washington but better because vagina, and crank Bernie Sanders.

They outright failed in the 2020 primary, and they just did backroom deals to get rid of the incumbent in 2024.

If you're saying that there won't be a primary in 2028 to ensure a preferred candidate, fine. Say that. But if the primary plays out, the machine can't rig that, recent history says so.

We are gonna get fucked in the ass with Satan's barbed penis if we don't get back on track.

Six months ago, Trump and the GOP were cool. We were winning big. Inflation was cooling, prices on a lot of important items were going down, we had foreign policy successes, we had domestic success after domestic success. I was so happy and optimistic I had to call a doctor for a months-long erection.

"Compelling state interest" is another favorite. Comical. Just dissolves the entire constitutional and philosophical basis of the country in one phrase.

* "class actions" of course being merely administrative or organizational forms of bringing lawsuits, entirely different

Well, you and your LE had goddamn better enforce those "Texas laws." Which you haven't thus far, that allowed the Muslims to gain the foothold they currently have.

219 I believe NV is even worse than New England, in terms of % of House votes by major party, and R/D numbers of seats.

There's no magic solution to redistricting, it was always recognized to be a political process, at the state level. Of course VRA and related nonsense made it partially/selectively federal, effing up the entire thing.

But it's "chef's kiss" US in 2025 that outlandishly partisan redistricting by one party, both already in place and even getting worse (CA), is effectively enabled and protected by "courts" and the Indiana GOP.

BUT...there are problems with that, as their pro-Islamist terror-simp lawyers will find First Amendment issues and turn into a private arbitration/contractual right matter, among other things.

I don't know if Trump mishandled this or not. I suspect the real reason Indiana balked at this was:

1. They are pussy-faggot go-along-get-alongs like 99% of the GOP.

2. When you redistrict, you have to apportion some of the red in safe red districts to unsafe blue districts. That means the house members in safe red districts will be less safe. That's like a garlic-coated crucifix doused in holy water to a vampire.

3. I suspect #2 was the final motivating factor. If you're in a safe red district, enjoying all the graft and perks and free whores, wtf do you care about other districts?

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at November 19, 2025 01:07 PM (ynpvh)

253 This is been the way of things for ages. About a decade ago, the Pennsylvania legislature drew up a new districting. This is within the PA Constitution. Only the legislature can re-district by majority. The Democrats filed suit, and it went up to the PA Supreme Court (which swung Liberal). They not only shot it down. The PA SC hired (without authority) a hack political science prof from Stanford to come in and re-draw the districting. He, of course, was a leftist, and proceeded to fold safe red districts into urban centers. When it was all said and done, the majority party in PA lost a handful of seats in the US Congress.

The US SC did not hear the case. And, btw, the NC Supreme court saw this and since their SC leaned left at the time, they hired the same Stanford hack to do the exact same thing in that state. A handful of other red states with left leaning Supreme Courts did the same over the last decade.

Don't expect any relief from the US SC. They didn't take any of the cases from Republicans who were screwed by these moves.

Exhibit #12,363 why Republicans don't vote in the midterms.

Trump won because he's a winner, because he has a vision for the country, because he is (some say *overly*) willing to be vocal about it, and because he stays on the attack. The "Indiana GOP" and too many other state GOPs and GOPs already in Congress don't remotely resemble Trump. They have no balls, no vision, and aren't willing to pound the table while stating "America First".

Republicans came to the polls 3 consecutive times to vote for Trump. The rest of the "GOP" offers almost none of the things that make voting for Trump not only important but down right fun!

287 260 ....and the Indiana GOP.
-------

Exhibit #12,363 why Republicans don't vote in the midterms.

Trump won because he's a winner, because he has a vision for the country, because he is (some say *overly*) willing to be vocal about it, and because he stays on the attack. The "Indiana GOP" and too many other state GOPs and GOPs already in Congress don't remotely resemble Trump. They have no balls, no vision, and aren't willing to pound the table while stating "America First".

Republicans came to the polls 3 consecutive times to vote for Trump. The rest of the "GOP" offers almost none of the things that make voting for Trump not only important but down right fun!

302 1946, 1994, 2010 were all huge swings to the GOP in mid-terms. 2014 mid-terms created a 60 seat R majority. There is usually a swing to the opposing party after losing.

309 At least the judges in the Texas case said it was illegal based on racial issues.

Utah has a worse problem with its judges. So Utah has four congressional seats. and there is really only one "Democrat hot spot" in the state: Salt Lake City and neighboring Summit county. But that's a lot of people. So the districts all have a part of Salt lake, leading to 4 Republican seats, but slightly more liberal than preferred... still Republican.

The Democrats in Utah scream, over and over, that it's not fair they are "diluted" and don't get one of the four seats. And now they have a judge who flat out said it's illegal to gerrymander Democrats out of a seat. No race, just flat out "Democrats are over 25% of the state, so they have to get at least one seat" and the judge literally threw out the state districting map and implemented one drawn up by a Democrat firm in Virginia to give Democrats a "safe seat."

Of course all the local and national leftists praise the judge... but refuse to adopt that kind of reasoning in any Democrat run state like California.

If you want to get something done - it would be best to figure out a strategy to actually get it done instead of thinking you can bull in a China shop.

Wednesday Morning Rant

Fake ID

Another day, another story about ICE arresting an illegal alien who was given a CDL. Unlike the last flurry of stories about this where many of the drivers had a printed name of "NO NAME GIVEN" on their CDLs, this one does include the person's name: Akhror Bozorov. He's not only an illegal alien, he's an illegal alien who is wanted as a terrorist in his native country of Uzbekistan but was released into the country by the Biden Administration.

Like last time, however, neither DHS nor the issuing state (the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in this case), nor the press outlets covering it bring up an uncomfortable fact about these CDLs. Last time around, most of the pictures of licenses issued to Messrs. Given were REAL ID compliant licenses. So, too, was the license given to Bozorov. His REAL ID was probably fraudulent. Non-citizens may be issued them legally, but only if they have official status - green card (permanent resident), valid visa, DACA (I know) or TPS (I know). It is unlikely that Bozorov had any of these.

As any real citizen - that is, a second-class citizen - knows, you have to provide gobs of paperwork to get a REAL ID. Multiple forms of identification and citizenship status must be provided, or you don't get one. The fair Commonwealth skirts around that with their boilerplate response to inquiries as published in the linked article:

"When non-citizen applicants appear at a Driver License Center in Pennsylvania, PennDOT reviews immigration and naturalization documents, which are confirmed in real-time against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) website before issuing any driver's license. PennDOT is prohibited from publicly disclosing information about an individual's driver record due to state and federal privacy laws."

Note what that does not say - and what neither DHS nor Fox News decided to mention. It makes no mention of REAL ID. It also makes no mention of CDLs. Both are special cases. Pennsylvania may issue licenses to foreigners at its discretion, and it is common for resident aliens to have domestic licenses if they drive. Pennsylvania may not, however, issue a REAL ID to an alien unless they have long-term legal status. CDLs, too, may not legally be issued to an illegal alien.

Pennsylvania is attempting to frame this as "we gave a license to an alien after following our internal procedures for doing so and it was legal from our standpoint" and passed the buck to DHS. So one of two things must be true:
1. The Commonwealth is telling the truth. It did its due diligence and DHS told them "all good here. He's an alien with one of the qualifying legal statuses (permanent resident, visa holder, etc.) and you're all good to issue him a REAL ID from the federal standpoint."
2. The Commonwealth is lying and they either didn't vet him through DHS, or they did vet him and issued him a REAL ID illegally.

Who is lying here? Did Pennsylvania fraudulently issue Bozorov a REAL ID while knowing that he was an illegal alien, or did DHS give them them the go-ahead to do so? Why do DHS and the press never comment on the distressingly common problem of the complete failure of the REAL ID system? That system is in place explicitly to avoid this. The cumbersome (and potentially unconstitutional) mess that is the entire REAL ID program is there to ensure that those without long-term legal status are not given official documents that allow them to impersonate having official status.

Someone is lying here, but either way, it invites an uncomfortable conclusion: REAL ID doesn't work. Whether its requirements are being ignored by the states or whether its requirements are being ignored by the feds, the fact remains that the requirements are being ignored. The press can be forgiven for missing this, because press men are all retarded. DHS cannot. They know the score and their extraordinarily loud silence on the issue requires explanation.

If the problem is with the states, why are they not revoking REAL ID certifications from states that do this and invalidating their existing REAL IDs? If the problem is with the feds, why are they not just scrapping the REAL ID program altogether because it is clearly unfit for purpose as well as burdensome? If it's both (and that would be my guess), then the program is clearly pointless.

To ask, in all likelihood, is to answer. That may well be why nobody is asking.

I'll bet he had all of them. They aren't hard to get, if you're willing to forge documents and/or steal IDs. Obviously, these guys are stone-cold criminals who would certainly do that.

Remember all the stories about normal Americans having their ID stolen? The assumption was that Nigeria scammers did it. I now think it was much more likely stolen by someone like Pedro or Akmed or Vladimir looking to paper over an illegal.

There are people in trucking who have been documenting the CDLs for illegals, as well as the numerous foreign trucking companies popping up with a similar "No Name Given" -- for the business -- and allegedly hundreds allegedly operating out of a single residence.

This is huge.

For example: 1 illegal Uzbeki, 5 IDs

29 The root cause of this, like most issues with illegals, is the trucking companies that hire them. There’s no way to inspect every driver. But a few high profile raids of trucking companies including arrests of executives… that may get some companies to think twice about using illegals.

TSA Pre is very useful; but the “no taking shoes off”, in my experience, just means taking shoes off after the machine beeps. Given how cheaply things are made nowadays, I’m somewhat amazed at how many shoes, even practically slippers, still have enough metal in them to set off the metal detectors.

69 Ah, it was a covid-era gift from Biden:

In 2021, the Biden administration urged states to find ways to approve more licenses, as the country grappled with COVID-era logistics challenges that snared the nation's supply chains.

From February 2022 onwards, driving training and test centers were allowed to self-certify their own programs, meaning with no state or federal oversight. There are now over 32,000 self-registered 'training providers' listed in the federal registry.
Biden's reforms also led to states massively expanding the issuance of non-domicile CDLs, granting them to many who had an EAD, even if they had entered the country illegally.

This came hot on the heels of the watering down of English language requirements: previously drivers who could not converse in English with a police officer or official could have their license revoked. Obama-era rules from 2015 had rescinded that order.

Applicants can now take their written test for the CDL in almost any language: Virginia currently offers tests in 26, including the West African dialect Twi, Nepali, Pashto and Haitian Creole.

118 RealID -- if done right -- would make it harder for illegals to get licenses and to be able to fly. That was the original point.

Enrico Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, a real achievement, not the faggy post-modern “economics” ersatz kind. The prize money in those days was substantial and seeing the writing on the wall (His wife was Jewish) he un-asses Europe for the U.S.A.

He was fought over by various American universities like the last box of Chicken Nuggets at 2 AM. He ended up at the University of Chicago.

But for a time, he was not allowed to fly on aircraft anywhere in the US simply because he was an Alien. Technically speaking, an Enemy Alien, as a state of war existed with Italy.

Plyler vs Doe, and so-called “Birthright” citizenship put the nails in the coffin of any sane migration policies. This was of course deliberate, with malice aforethought and psychological manipulation of the worst sort. Guilt trip everyone into letting their guard down.

Illegal aliens have a “right” or automatic claim on your resources, just because. Some clown in a robe said so, so it must be true.

There was another highway in the dallas area that had a shit ton of lanes. I'm thinking shit man, super wide highways, and highways that are done and just waiting. Oh the best one that I loved was the quick turn around at the bottom of exit ramps. If you screwed up and took the wrong exit you don't need to sit at a light, you had your own lane to just zip around and get back on the highway. That alone made want to move to texas. lol

166 In Houston they have a lot of problems with 'independent' truckers parking on side streets walking distance from their apartments. Some streets look like a trucking firm yard.
———

One of the dirty secrets of the trucking industry, the way I see it - virtually everything we buy is transported by truck at some point.

But everyone hates trucks, and truckers, and don’t want to pay them what they are worth. That’s why they are importing Terrorists from Uzbekistan, after all.

I’ve never been a trucker, but it’s a different world. No place to park. You don’t get paid while waiting to pick up a load, which may take hours or days. It used to be, like so many blue collar jobs, a way to make a living. Professional drivers for the most part, salt of the earth types.

Now it’s just a minimum wage hell hole, administered through fly by night nicklefvckers. Nobody wants to do it, so anybody who can fog a mirror gets the nod these days.

Happy Motoring!

224 An Uzbek citizen had to use a valid biometric passport for foreign travel to depart Uzbekistan since the days of O&Joe but then it began introducing digital ID cards.

23 September 2020, 'The process of introducing digital ID cards instead of 2011 biometric passports will begin starting 2021'

In part, "Until the end of 2020, you can apply for an ID card, take the e-queue and make an online payment.
The card will be issued within a working day from the date of submission of documents, and for the elderly in need of care and persons with disabilities – within 15 days with a visit to their place of residence without additional payment for the service provided.

Valid biometric passports and the Regulation on the passport system in Uzbekistan remain in force until December 31, 2030, that is, from January 1, 2031, the biometric passport of 2011 is considered invalid."

Back in the old Snow White days, some Disney animators decided to throw a birthday party for Walt. The height of the festivities was a bespoke cartoon showing Mickey and Minnie 'making love,' as it were.

At the showing, both the room and Walt howled with laughter. When the lights came up, Walt asked who had made the cartoon. Two animators smiled and held up their hands.

Walt fired them on the spot.

One thing I've always asked people...at least make your conspiracy theories make sense.

So as you note, the notion there is anything here damaging to Trump would negate him calling for the release and vice versa.

But...even worse these same people were arguing not long ago there were no Epstein files and that the only abusers were Epstein, Maxwell, and perhaps Prince Andrew.

175 Acts 17:26 is one of the most frequently referenced verses: “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” For many believers, this affirms that God established distinct nations with defined borders.

Against this broader Christian understanding of borders and authority, Pope Leo XIV has now offered one of his clearest statements on immigration. “No one has said that the United States should have open borders. I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter.” He said he believes illegal aliens should be treated humanely but stressed that this does not mean calling for open borders.

Doordash is a useless wankery of a delivery service and their sketchy hiring practices and service do not make me want to use them.

Instacart is about the same to me and about as useless--some of the goods arrive prespoiled due to delivery times and routing (they had drivers loading up at stores close to the driver but not to my home--just great for refrigerated or frozen goods).

Easier to just cook at home and if I need groceries, order them for pickup at the store while I am out.

As someone with an actual autoimmune disease making me susceptible to respiratory infections, I find her idiotic anti-scientific anti-factual mutterings akin to the speeches by substance abusing bums in the streets.

Covid has degenerated into the cold producing corona virus that is responsible along with rhinoviruses for what we call the common cold.

Novel variants of respiratory illness are more deadly but viruses over time, even engineered ones, become recognized by the body's immune system (unless you are stupid enough to keep getting vaxxed), even weak ones, to prevent the massive inflammatory response that novel variants often provoke.

Maltreatment due to CDC and NIH guidelines, vaxxes, and drugs, made Covid far more deadlier than it would have been if they had left it alone like in Sweden. And malicious slugs like Lorenz were cheerleading those nasty actions and want them to continue in perpetuity because she is mentally damaged.

To be pedantic, Plyer actually did not say that. Instead, it said if a state declares a state constitutional right to a free and public education, then it cannot deny illegals services because illegals are a suspect classification under the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause and state actions preventing illegals from entry cannot be supported under strict scrutiny of the state's actions, even intermediate scrutiny.

There is no federal constitutional right to a free education so Scotus backdoored it to the 14th which gave federal courts the ability to hear such cases.

Posted by: 18-1

Plyer rather slyly put the onus on states. Basically if the states guarantee a right--then you cannot exclude non citizens from that right. Too short a time to go into substantive due process but the 14th's equal protection clause has been warped into a endless demand of groups for special rights instead of its original intent which was to make sure freed slaves were treated fairly by states on par with whites.

It had nothing to do with gay marriage, illegals getting free education and medical treatment or welfare, etc.

Basquiat himself had more talent than the usual "modern art" hack, but he basically painted the same painting over and over.

The art world was desperate to find the Next Big Thing and he fell right into it. Young, black, charismatic, and with a (fake) hint of 70s black power liberation? The effete faggots and remoras couldn't resist.

If people like it, then fine to listen to I guess if the lyrics and presentation are not designed to lead people astray. But I really don't care to be a spectator watching a show--singing hymns as part of a congregation puts the focus on a person's ties to others present as well as offering up your own musical praise to the Lord.

Sometimes, the values of entertainment run contrary to the primary focus in a service on how to facilitate a relationship between the individual and the Lord.

Outside of religious services, I listen to all sorts of music and you can find meaningful and wholesome, or simply juvenile and funny like Ray Steven's work such as the Squirrel Revival.

And, since many paintings are idealized forms of whatever, the female form there is often idealized - IOW the nicest sort of female forms.

The Morning Report — 11/19/25

Good morning kids. Well, there are autopens and then there are autopens.

At the trial for Linda Sun, a former top aide to New York Govs. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo allegedly forged Hochul’s signature on invitations for dignitaries from Henan, a province in China. . . Jurors in Brooklyn federal court were shown copies of letters purportedly sent by Hochul on March 26, 2018, inviting a six-member delegation from the province in central China to a meeting with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But the letters bore clearly forged versions of Hochul’s signature — that featured “overly loopy” handwriting, her former chief of staff Jeff Lewis testified.

And speaking of autopens, there are also Manchurian candidates:

A big part of the Biden ‘autopen’ scandal is that we don’t really know who’s making decisions in parts of the government. A signature doesn’t really mean much these days and government has gotten so big and chaotic that there are really complicated chains of authority, yet a lot of the actual work, including even the signing, is down by junior personnel . . . Prosecutors say that Sun, who served as Cuomo’s director of Asian-American affairs, forged the governor’s then-No. 2 Hochul’s signature several times that year in an attempt to curry favor with Chinese officials. “Her loyalty was for sale, and the Chinese government, which wanted to influence the New York government, was willing to pay her to do their bidding,” prosecutor Amanda Shami said during last week’s opening statements. . .
That’s why the question of who was actually wielding executive authority in the Biden administration and in any administration matters so much. . . What we have is a system of low-level staffers who can do anything with no oversight and can work for anyone.

While this is certainly true, it's not so much the low-level staffers, it's Biden himself. But considering his brain function was and remains somewhere between that of a cup of yogurt and a dessicated clump of lichen, it's whoever Biden was fronting for, be it Obama, Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, George Soros or some combination of them and others. It kind of puts the stories of the Chi-Coms owning massive tracts of our farmland as well as trailer parks and other property that are very close or otherwise butting up against our military installations, and Chinese nationals with direct connection to or are agents of the Chi-Com party and/or intelligence apparatus in everything from our schools and media to some of our most sensitive defense and industrial establishments into very alarming perspective.

But not to worry because we now have this to deal with:

Mamdani’s First Endorsement Called Al Qaeda Terrorist a Hero . . . Daughter of an illegal alien criminal and terrorist supporter runs for office in New York.

And this too!

Dearborn’s Muslim Mayor: Call to Prayer Through Loudspeakers No Different From ‘Church Bells’

Remember, just because this insanity takes place in places that you have long held disdain for, doesn't mean it will only stay there and never have any impact on you.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Among other things, the plan, which is part of the Church’s obligation to the Paris Climate Accords – which the Trump administration withdrew from earlier this year – will include developing a 1,000-acre solar panel farm just north of Rome.

39 PE in 401(k): "“You use ChatGPT every day, but you can’t buy OpenAI.”

The reason you can't buy OpenAI is because VC's (venture capitalists) realized (long ago), that they were leaving money on the table by going public early. Now, companies stay private until the last drop of growth has been squeezed out, and only then flipped to the public in an overvalued IPO.

Allowing 401(k) to invest in PE isn't going to change that. Sure, they'll let you finance their crap, but you're not getting in on the ground floor of anything worthwhile.

44 The results of the latest NAEP U.S. history and civics test, last administered in 2022, were atrocious. The scores reveal that only 13% of 8th-graders met proficiency standards for U.S. history, meaning they could explain key themes, periods, events, people, ideas, and turning points in the country’s history. Additionally, about 20% of students scored at or above the proficient level in civics. Both scores are the lowest ever recorded on these two tests.

Well duh! Look at the lack of Civics Knowledge in media, government, education, and society.

80 Reuters published a screed this morning calling for the un-cancelling of anyone punished for celebrating the Charlie Kirk murder. "600 Americans" were "punished", says the somehow still living propaganda organ.

In the 1969 book The Story of Journalism (one of my faves), there's a chapter which includes the founding of the Reuter Agency by Paul Julius de Reuter:

"Reuter's name was remembered partly because it was seen so often and partly because it was rather strange to English eyes. Few English readers even knew how to pronounce it, until the following nimble verses appeared in the St James's Gazette:

I sing of one no Pow'r has trounced,
Whose place in every strife is neuter;
Whose name is sometimes mispronounced
As Reuter.
How of, as through the news we go,
When breakfast leaves an hour to loiter -
We quite forget the thanks we owe
To Reuter."

I featured content about this on last night's ONT. Several articles I read all had a common explanation for the cost growth. Supposedly, the initial estimates did not include "pre-construction activities" - otherwise known as demolition of the existing over-water roadways which lead up to the main span of the bridge.
Really? NOBODY caught that a year and a half ago?
Another supposed reason for the cost growth is that the new main span will be longer and higher than the original one. OK, fine -- but that was also known at the time of the original estimate.

It really is typical of a govt project run in a one-party, blue state. The only hope is the pushback shown from Trump and Transp Sec Duffy.

Specifically, they're hoping to get field grade officers (major through full colonel) in critical roles to refuse to obey orders. Those officers will then not give orders to their underlings and the effect will spread without the junior personnel having to refuse to act.

This will get the officers in question relieved of their command and, in all likelihood, court martialed for failure to obey orders. But the politicians won't pay a price for what they've done because what they did was, technically, correct.

Same as it ever was.

True. But the new bridge will be higher to allow for passage in and out of the port by taller ships. That makes perfect sense. There will also be concrete barriers around the vertical support piers. Good idea. The thing is - all of that was known and discussed before the initial estimate was provided (and that estimate was already ridiculous).

3. Yes, they're trying to foster a mutiny BUT what they said is literally the law under which the military operates.

The fact that they are dishonest fuckheads only matters to the extent that it makes you mad. Their intent is to make people emotional because emotional people are controllable people. No amount of annoyance on your part makes their action illegal, nor would it excuse the action - or lack of action - on the part of someone in the military.

Islam is an all encompassing totalitarian political system which justifies total control of the population by a small empowered elite; and making it “religion” was dark genius because it allows that elite to brutally crush any dissent and execute any internal critics for Heresy. No wonder the left admires it so.
And the payoff/bribe to Muslim men is that they are empowered to treat all women as chattel slaves. To be a devout Muslim is to be sickly warped to the core of one’s soul. Truly a religion of Evil.

And, yet, fostering a mutiny, unless it's during an actual war and with the intent to aid the enemy, isn't treason. It's incitement to mutiny which, for members of the military, is punished by death.

But, once again, in the video, what they said is literally already part of the law which controls the US military. It's like they made a video where they reminded people that you are required to salute officers senior to you and everyone is freaking out about it.

What 90% of people in this country don't understand about welfare is, there is a whole system by those on welfare to get more welfare for themselves and those they know.

Whole trainings, tricks, schemes and practices that they teach and learn that you have no idea about.
Which includes insider embeds, fixers and facilitators with kickbacks and bribes.

It's not "go down to the benefits office, apply and, if you qualify, get paid." That's what most think it is.

You do that, even if you meet all the written qualifications and maybe, maybe but most likely not, you'll get a trickle.

Take as a whole their is no difference in the lowest quintile of income earners and the second quintile.
The lowest quintile receives a plethora of local, state, and federal funds to shore up their family units actual spending power so that is equal to the spending power of the second quintile.
The first works in the 700 to 1000 hours per years.
The second works between 1800 and 2200 hours per year.

Except that what they said in the video is both legal and correct. The whole thing was very carefully crafted. It was very carefully worded. Absolutely everything they said is the law. You can try to argue that they said it with seditious intent but what they said was the law.

Their goal was to get people to overreact like people are overreacting.

To me, this is a tough one. The country was founded on principles of religious freedom...but also very much the intent of a mostly racially and culturally homogenous population.

But it is a VERY rare nation that can be comprised of multiple ethnic and cultural enclaves and still be united and successful.

277 Trump, who mocked Biden's use of autopen, caught posting identical signatures on pardons. It’s always projection. Always.

He gets caught constantly not knowing what EO he signed or who he pardoned. I don't remember any situation like that with Biden. Even if they used autopen, he knew what it was signing.

The entire point of the autopen "controversy" was to give them cover for when they use it, because they know Trump's mental state is rapidly deteriorating.

He didn't just "mock" Biden's use of autopen (he actively has a photo of an autopen in the white house with bidens name under it replacing a portrait of him).
He's threatening criminal charges and undoing legal actions because of it.

He's such a fucking toddler. Trump got the nickname "Donny Two Scoops" with his own staff in his first admin because at state dinners when ice cream was served for dessert trump ordered that everyone get only a single scoop, but he get two.

I think it depends on how they were brought into the system.

If they were underaged no.

If some were brought in of age? Well...that makes them more like prostitutes or "yacht girls".

And I do suspect Epstein had both. Bring in a target and start him with young but legal and willing women. Then add drugs and alcohol and eventually bring in the girls that will give you kompromat.

326 Canadia looking at starvation as a solution to insufficient diversity -

OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — The Cabinet of Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a note that a Canadian Crown bank mostly used by farmers is too “white” and not diverse enough in its lending to “traditionally underrepresented groups” such as LGBT minorities.

Farm Credit Canada Regina, in Saskatchewan, is used by thousands of farmers, yet federal cabinet overseers claim its loan portfolio needs greater diversity.
...
“Farm operators are predominantly older white men and farm families tend to have higher average incomes compared to all Canadians,” the note reads.

“Traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, youth, Indigenous, LGBTQ, and Black and racialized entrepreneurs may particularly benefit from regular legislative reviews to better enable Farm Credit Canada to align its activities with their specific needs.”

358 How about just telling the court to just Fuck Off?

Since the courts have gone rogue and don't respect the Constitution, the will of the people, law, elections, our heritage, then they should also be exempt from being recognized as a part of the system they are actively destroying.

That's where I'm at:
File the appeal.
And then have the TX SOS and AG send out a memo at 11:58PM on December 8, 2025 that--because the appeal is pending--the order of the court is not final and the State of Texas will proceed with the duly and properly enacted map for 2026; not the court-ordered map.

378 In October alone, there were 36,766 foreclosure filings — the first step in the process, when a lender warns a borrower they’re in default. That’s up three percent from September and 19 percent from a year ago.

‘Foreclosure activity continued its steady upward trend in October — the eighth straight month of year-over-year increases,’ said ATTOM CEO Rob Barber.

The rise is stirring uncomfortable memories of 2008, when a wave of foreclosures triggered the worst housing crash in modern US history.

391 Despite overwhelming votes in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate to pass a bill forcing the release of files about Jeffrey Epstein, some lawmakers believe President Donald Trump could still skirt the bill's intent and avoid disclosing material about the late sex trafficker's activities.

Their concern is the Department of Justice (DOJ) may withhold key documents related to its investigations into Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls through a legal loophole that Trump opened last Friday.

The president ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to open an investigation into Epstein's connections to three prominent Democrats: former president Bill Clinton, former treasury secretary Larry Summers and the billionaire founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman.

Bitcoin prices have plummeted over 25% to below $90,000 (£68,536) this week, down from record highs of $126,000 (£95,951) in early October. The last time Bitcoin traded below the $90,000 mark was seven months ago, erasing much of this year's gains and sparking widespread concern across the crypto industry.

Daily Tech News 19 November 2025

Top Story

So, Cloudflare. (Cloudflare)

Cloudflare carries something like 20% of the world's web traffic, but for a few hours late last night (my time) or early yesterday morning (US time) it wasn't carrying much of anything, because it stopped working.

Six times.

Not a DNS problem like the recent outages at Azure and Amazon, but a fumbled configuration file change like that massive Crowdstrike outage sixteen months ago.
And it's going to keep happening, so buckle up. (The Verge) (archive site)

I run traditional unshared physical servers at a smaller datacenter, not bound to any of the major players. On the one hand, a few years ago that datacenter had a fire and while the fire didn't cause any damage, the same could not be said for the sprinkler system mandated by local fire codes. (Yes, a sprinkler system. In a datacenter.)

On the other hand, not one of these big global outages have affected us.

Tech News

It's now been discovered that the popular Mac Classic II model from 1991 - the original compact format with an updated 68030 processor - never actually worked. (PC Gamer)

A developer working on the MAME emulator found that an emulated Mac Classic II running in 32-bit mode would crash immediately on startup.

100% of the time, despite MAME being a reliable and thoroughly-tested emulator for the 68030 (and many other architectures) and the testing being conducted with a bit-perfect copy of the original firmware.

Testing traced this to a single bad instruction in the Apple ROMs for this hardware. But the hardware was shipped, and it sold well, and it worked fine.

It wasn't until the developer bought and restored an original Mac Classic II to test the code on the the real hardware that he worked out what was going on: Magic.

(Thanks to Comrade Arthur for the link to this story.)
Bitcoin prices have crashed to just $90,000. (Tom's Hardware)

After hitting $125,000 in early October.

I told you at the time that you could double your money by investing in DRAM.

Well, I didn't, but imagine if I had.
If you get an email from Monotype, burn it without reading. (Insanity Works)

Trust me on this.
Microsoft is adding an "Agentic AI" features settings to Windows 11 for all the stuff you don't want but that they insist on shoving in. (Windows Central)

Thanks, I think.
Talking to your Windows PC quickly reveals how much Windows sucks, and Copilot AI sucks, and the combination is exponential rather than merely additive. (The Verge) (archive site)

Translation: Don't do that.
The CEO of LLM marketplace Hugging Face says we're not in an AI bubble, just in an LLM bubble. (Tech Crunch)

This is a valid point.

LLMs are generative AI - you tell them to draw a picture of a frog eating a set of deep-fried bagpipes and they pull together petabytes of tagged and shredded images and spit out something that may or may not resemble what you asked for.

That's the bubble.

Discriminative AI is where you point your camera at some weird piece of modern art and it figures out it's supposed to be a frog enjoying a meal of deep-fried bagpipes. Or more usefully, when your self-driving car swerves the precise amount needed to avoid a black cart darting across an unlit road on a moonless night.

That's getting less than 10% of the attention but represents 99% of the long-term value.

33 Another cold morning here at Stately Poppins Manor. The temperatures are supposed to rise starting tomorrow, but who really knows? I'm thinking that, with my hatred of winter and the current political scene, a signing off from AoS for the next 3-4 months except for Christmas wishes would be a good thing. It's only going to get worse from here.

What do the Democrats have in mind for Hegseth or Trump to do?

As I have mentioned many times, my vote for Trump was not for economic security, border security or anything else except sheer, unadulterated revenge. Which I have not had.

(what's 'revenge,' you ask? Oh, let's start with the majority of Democrat criminals who are walking around guilty as sin and free as a bird, for starters)

But then, I have never had what I truly want in this life, so Trump is just one more of my life's disappointments.

Anyway, lots of work to do this morning. Feh.

Here's the thing... not only is what they're saying NOT treason, it's absolutely correct. Members of the military (and possibly intelligence services) get training on this, or did when I was in.

You cannot be required to obey an unlawful order. You are actually required to refuse an unlawful order. The trick is knowing what orders are unlawful. Get that wrong, in either direction, and you're screwed.

Now, these Congressional asshats are expecting some military folks to get that answer wrong, and they'll be punished for it, but the jackasses stirring the pot are on legal footing.

48 Configuration changes in the production environment *shouldn't* break things. That's why you have a parallel staging environment, which should look just like production but doesn't directly do production work. The idea being that you test the changes that you want to do in production in the staging environment first; if staging breaks, don't do that in production.

But...production is big and expensive, but customers use it and give us money to do so. Staging sits around and costs as much as production, but nobody's paying us for it. Solution? Well, there are few.

If you're big enough, there's the "fuck you" solution. Oh, we were broke for a while? Fuck you. It'll cost you more to move to some other provider of my service than for you to placate your customers.

If you aren't that big, you scale down staging and hope that's good enough. Sometimes it isn't.

There are more, but comments can be only so long.

The military deals with a few cases of this every year. Usually low rank people. Depending on the details, they normally get a Bad Conduct Discharge. Sometimes they go to prison.

I'm guessing that the folks in the video are encouraging officers, and preferably senior officers, to play the "I know the law" game. It won't work out well for them.

77 Evening and morning, late toilers and early risers respectively! A new Woden's Day is about to dawn here (well, in about an hour and fifteen minutes it will). Howz alla yez?

I dreamed just now that I was hiking in a national park, one of the Western dry ones, with a female friend (probably Linda). Suddenly I was bitten by a centipede -- a pale gray thing that had looked just like the rock it was on. Thing was a foot long! And it bit me not on the leg, as you'd expect, but *jumped* somehow to bite me on the right arm below the elbow. It hung on, too, and Linda had to pull it loose.

I was bleeding, so we crossed the street -- apparently this park was right in town -- to the first aid station. It was getting dark and the nurse and doctor were about to go home (?), but sprang into action when they saw my blood. I was asking if I would need an antivenin shot, and the doctor was saying yes, and are you allergic to anything?, when I woke up.

You are of course right in this, but at the company I work at staging means real architecture, real code, not real data. No matter how hard you try to test something in that environment you can't reliably produce real data or real data volume.

We have some stuff in the system I work on which tests some aspects in production. It's not customer facing, which limits downsides, but it's a PITA when something breaks.

110 Regarding the Mac bug: That code may have been deliberate. Just because the instruction in question is officially undocumented doesn't mean Apple programmers didn't know about it. Presumably they worked pretty closely with Motorola in the initial stages of development, and it's not hard to imagine them getting extra info from Motorola engineers.

111 "You are of course right in this, but at the company I work at staging means real architecture, real code, not real data. No matter how hard you try to test something in that environment you can't reliably produce real data or real data volume."

True point (we insert a subset of prod data into our staging, which *isn't* a mirror of production), but a configuration change that breaks production _should_ have broken staging.

114 Just watched one of the classic Max Fleischer Superman short cartoons on Movies! They are justly acclaimed. Beautifully drawn with fantastically well-done backdrops, they show Superman at his best, battling a science-fictional enemy: a guy who looks remarkably like actor Zachary Scott and who has created a crew of giant robots to commit robberies for him. The motion of bodies in space, the flow of Superman's cape, the shape of his fedora as Clark Kent, all amazing.

Funny how some of the very best iterations of both Superman and Batman came from animation.

If the order seems wrong, consult a JAG outside your command, make a paper trail, and be prepared to ride out the storm. Advice that’s just “don’t obey orders YOU think are unconstitutional” is terrible advice, and the politicians don’t pay the price for the SM guessing wrong.

I don't have time to expand on it, but the left will be happy, the vast majority of the GOP will be happy, the MFM will be happy, the 'conservative' media will call for dialing down the temperature and the hardcore Trump supporters will wait in vain for someone to pick up the torch and cry havoc.

Probably worth mentioning that I have disobeyed an unlawful order before.

I was given it, I consulted a JAG, he sent an email to the CO’s JAG, and it was revoked.

If they don’t let you check, or rain hell on you for doing so, call the IG.

125 "Still the cost/effort of setting up an entire parallel system to test every source change before rolling it out would be crazy."

Well, if you want to automate releases via CI/CD, that's what you gotta do.

Where I work used to have a startup culture; deploy at 0-dark-thirty, test, rollback if the tests fail. If it fails the next day, rollback ASAP. Impact to customers is minimal and you release stuff fairly quickly.

We were bought by a company that loves process so much that the process smells like jism. Said company, however, won't pay for staging to look like production and the people who greenlight releases only sniff the documentation around the release to see if it smells like enough ejaculate is on it.

Yeah, it's all about trade-offs and what you should have might be too expensive to actually have; I get that (I like the company to have enough money to pay me, after all). But, there are cost savings to be had by reducing useless process, which never seems to happen.

I worked at a company in an office tower (the old Alcatel, now Avaya, building in Denver). The guy who managed the building was total dumbass and yuuuuge Patriots fan, BIRM.

I told this guy - several times, no less than five times over the course of a couple years - "this building's HVAC is running at significant negative pressure, and it's going to cause a problem for you eventually."

Eventually happened one day when we had a brutal cold snap, the HVAC sucked enough very cold air into the elevator shafts/utility trunk, froze the sprinkler system up, and every sprinkler in the building started spewing. Including in our server room.

We had a bunch of software engineers spend a day running a bucket brigade in there.

This doofus tried *ordering us out* for "safety." We just laughed in his face and told him to get fucked. We weren't about to let our servers get ruined to assuage the officious ego of the retard who flooded the building because he was to busy beating off to Tom Brady to listen to reason and do his job.

Reminds me of my second favorite WKRP In Cincinnati episode (after the classic Thanksgiving "flying turkeys" one):

The DJs have a highway patrol officer on as a guest talking about the affects of drunk driving on one's reflexes; Dr. Johnny Fever is drinking throughout the episode, and his reflex-times actually improve the more he drinks.

I had a friend in college (a brilliant kid, never studied and kicked my ass in classes) who was like this when we played drinking games -- he just got quicker, smarter, and funnier the more alcohol he drank ...

I rewatched it a few years ago with The Wifey -- who'd never seen it -- and was surprised that she actually enjoyed it.

224 More magic - I remember a story about an AI analysis on FPGA (basically a computer chip you can reprogram to do different things). They got it to come up with a FPGA design/program to do what they wanted, but it did it very, very efficiently. By an order of magnitude.

The engineers were concerned, as they didn't understand how there would be so much cruft and unneeded design in hand-rolled code. So they analyzed. And analyzed.

Turns out, the code "did not work". More accurately, there were side effects from the AI's design technique that worked on the specific FPGA chip it was working with. Run this little bit of code, and the flow of electricity would change enough so that bit of code 'malfunctioned', but in the way that supported the goal. Terribly efficient, but not fully reproducible for other chips without those same exact flaws.

Wondering how much code was designed by developers who used similar "undocumented features" and other bugs, making the software unstable and unusable in other contexts, but allowing them to ship today.

225 Discriminative AI:

Imagine deciding you want to learn how to swing a golf club better. Golf is, apparently, an expensive sport. There's the hardware itself, your golf bag and golf clubs. There are the fees for a golf course, which you can't use 24/7 because shared resource. If you want to train, you need someone to coach, which would mean even more money.

What if you could train how to swing in your backyard, or even in a room within your house (without actual ball) (or maybe keep it outside; remember the Wii-motes). A specialized golf tee platform, some cameras, and an AI tutor. You do a few practice swings, it records the motion. Calculates your body - height, arm length, where your hips are, etc. Calculates how you swing. Identifies issues with how you move, and provides advice on how to improve your posture, grip, motion. Maybe it could also simulate what your swing would do to a golf ball, giving a virtual display of where it would go. And then different examples of its path, based upon different wind patterns.

If you keep up with the training, you could learn a part of how to be a better golfer. Personalized for you, not reliant on the limited time of another.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - November 18, 2025 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Tuesday night ONT. So glad you stopped by. What's going on in your world tonight?

Have You Seen The Bridge?

Where's that confounded bridge?

As you are probably well aware, the Key Bridge in Baltimore has been closed since March 2024 due to being struck by a cargo ship. Initial estimates for the rebuild were approximately $2 Billion with a forecasted re-opening in 2028. Now the state of MD is saying the rebuild will, get this, cost a lot more and take a lot longer. I know you're totally shocked by these developments!

Cost of Key Bridge Replacement Upped to $5 Billion, Timeline Delayed to 2030

Rendering of the new Key Bridge design

Commuters, residents, and business owners waiting for a new Key Bridge will have to wait longer than previously though… and construction will cost two to three times as much.
The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) released new cost and timeline estimates one day before the National Transportation Safety Board released the failures that led the M/V Dali to lose power, strike the bridge, and cause the deadly collapse.
MDTA says it is working with the Federal Highway Administration to “quickly and safely” advance the rebuilding of the bridge that people and commerce operations relied on. MDTA announced it has raised the cost estimate to a range of $4.3-$5.2 billion, up from $1.7 billion. The predicted opening date of the bridge has been pushed back from 2028 to late 2030.

Why, you ask?

MDTA attributes the doubling or tripling of the cost to changing national economic conditions and material costs, which the agency says have increased dramatically. Because the cost and timeline estimates were made less than two weeks after the collapse on March 26, 2024, they didn’t factor in pre-construction activities (which have been underway since this summer), advanced design, and updated data points.
***
A big part of the cost increase comes from the length of the main bridge span and the height of the main piers. The new bridge’s main span will be 1,665 feet long to accommodate today’s large ships (some of which are much larger than the Dali).

I'm sorry -- WHAT?? The original estimates didn't factor in pre-construction activities or the length of the new main span??? Nobody picked up on that a year and a half ago? Yeah, OK.

Here's a recent photo of pre-construction activities.

Some additional info to consider. From marylandmatters.org

Within hours of the bridge’s collapse, then-President Joe Biden promised that the federal government would cover 100% of the cost of replacement. That pledge was later codified into law by Congress.
But President Donald Trump (R) has repeatedly hinted that he does not feel bound by that agreement. In an online spat with Gov. Wes Moore (D) in August, whcn Moore slammed Trump’s suggestion that he might send National Guard troops into Baltimore, the president ended a lengthy social media post by saying he “gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink that decision???”
And U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, while pledging that the federal government is committed to working with the state to deliver a new Key Bridge, has pressed the state for updates on costs and the timeline for the reconstruction.
“Congress granted the Secretary of Transportation important authorities to conduct critical oversight to ensure that Federal highway funds are properly managed, and I take this authority seriously,” Duffy said in a September letter to state officials. “It is my role to guarantee that federally funded projects benefit the entire Nation through every dollar spent.”
In that letter, Duffy also warned that the state’s “reliance on race- or sex-conscious factors in contracting decisions” could threaten the project. It was a reference to the state Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program, which aims to use state contracts to bolster minority- and women-owned businesses.
Kiewit, the contractor overseeing the bridge project, has committed to a goal of using 26% “disadvantaged business enterprises,” including campanies [sic] that are at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more minority individuals.

What does Governor Moore say about that?

In a statement Monday night, Moore said the state will “continue to work with the Trump Administration to find ways to reduce costs and rebuild faster.” The higher costs and longer timeline are the result of outside factors, “not discretionary state choices,” he said.

Yup. Not his fault. And definitely not any cronyism or grift going on.

In another part of the country, a bridge nears completion.

New Yellowstone Bridge Replaces Crumbling 62-Year-Old Span

Big news, big bridge - visitors to Yellowstone National Park are now using the new Yellowstone River Bridge.
This major Great American Outdoors Act project is moving into its final phase as crews continue work on overlooks, remove the old bridge, and restore the Lost Creek drainage. The full project is expected to be completed in 2026.
The bridge was one of the biggest projects in the park's recent history.
The old bridge was deemed structurally deficient, with crumbling concrete. The new bridge, located upstream, is more than twice as long, at 1,285 feet, as the 62-year-old bridge.
***
The project was originally estimated to cost slightly more than $71 million, but park officials said the rising cost of labor and materials like concrete and steel pushed the budget to $118 million.

Wes Moore is probably laughing at the relatively tiny price tag for this bridge!

Otter News

The good kind of otters - not the rapey ones.

Baby Sea Otter Named Caterpillar Rescued off Central California Coast

Conservationists recently reunited a mother otter with her baby and caught it on film.
It seems surreal when marine conservationists plop the lost baby sea otter into the frigid waters of Morro Bay in Central California.
Before it makes its way back into the arms of its mother, the thing just bobbed around like a crabbing buoy.
***
For two hours, the team plied the coastline, blasting the call off of one side of the boat and then the other with no luck. Finally, a female otter popped her head above the water and began to take interest in the boat—something otters almost never do; they have no interest in people or boats typically.
The intern moved the speaker around the sides of the boat to see if the visitor would follow the sound: which it did, giving them the cue to throw man overboard overboard.
With up to 970,000 strands of hair per square inch, the sea otter’s fur is the densest of any animal. An air layer sits between the skin and the base of the fur that prevents any water from reaching it. It is, therefore, startlingly buoyant.
Lowering it gently into the water, it floated helplessly on its back, rolling around as if it were on a thick quilt. Mom swam over, grabbed the baby, and began to smell it rather intensely before swimming away, reunited with its pup.

This Date in History

Starting off with sports. On this date in 1985 - The Theismann Injury.

Kinda gruesome to watch, but if you're interested - here ya go!

-----

Moving on to music - some noteworthy albums were released on this date in history.

2002 - The debut album from the supergroup Audioslave, which featured Chris Cornell on vocals along with 3 members of Rage Against the Machine (at least one of whom is a Trump-hating uberdouche).

1991 - Achtung Baby from U2. Yes, this band takes a lot of deserved scorn from the Horde. But they did make some great music in the early days, and I'd say this is their last really good album. I'll forego the hits / singles from the album and go with a deep track - dedicated to a lovely lady who is gone but will never be forgotten. This was among her favorites.

1985 - Psychocandy, debut album from The Jesus and Mary Chain. I remember buying this CD when it came out. The audio mix is very heavy on treble. Not sure why.

Also in 1985, a banger of an album was released. Here's a track from it.
Dedicated to Mis Hum.

25 I have watched the first three episodes of Ken Burns' new PBS special on the Revolutionary War (basically, everything through Trenton).

So far, I give it a B to a B-.

Where Burns sticks to the purely military side of things, it's pretty good; there's a lot of great maps and 3D models of the battlefields, and plenty of stories about the experiences of individual soldiers.

On the other hand, Burns does get into the race/gender nonsense more than he should. Not as much as he probably would have if Trump wasn't in charge now, and to be clear, the Revolution does have social tensions that deserve to be talked about; but you do notice it.

It's worth a watch, but don't take everything at face value.

27 Again sacrificing precious time to watch American Revolution for y'all. The third episode covers the initially hard times for the Patriot army and Washington. It mentions the two Howe brothers, one a general the other an admiral. The general makes several half-hearted attempts to defeat Washington. Winter begins to set in and Washington's somewhat diminished army defeats a larger Hessian complement and then FREES the Germans! Says they have been forced to fight! Less this episode of racial comments and indian notes. Both groups are treated poorly by the patriots and the blacks essentially ignored by the Brits.

Trump, who builds things, must be laughing, swearing, and shaking his head over the bridge non-construction.

I think he should pay for it ONLY on condition that all federal contracting requirements are removed -- if that hasn't happened already. Well, and throw in another condition: some trusted czar of his oversees it completely and the government of Maryland has nothing to do with it.

54 Today our Knights of Columbus council packed over 350 Thanksgiving dinner boxes to hand out tomorrow for needy families around here. You know, the usual stuff - turkeys, boxes of mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beans and corn. Various deserts too.

Worked a deal with a food wholesaler to loan us a reefer trailer - actually the same one they used to deliver the turkeys.

Another Brother Knight and I finally got through to the powers that be this year to NOT provide frozen, monster turkeys to the recipients. Instead, we gave them smaller turkey roasts. Around here, the truly poor don't have big freezers, don't know how to thaw a bird anyway, and may not have a working oven.

It's hard for some folks to consider that not everyone has the same capabilities as they do. But, we're making progress.

Used four BIG timbers as the base and 4x12s as the floor. Only powered tool was a Ford tractor which my uncle drove over the first two base pieces. It was about 15' down to the water. I was keeping quiet but he told my aunt that evening at supper. I thought she was passing out! So . . . . across a bay? I might need a bigger tractor!

Fun fact: The Tappan Zee is not built at the closest space between the two sides - in fact it is practically at the farthest space between them. That is because the builders didn't want the bridge subject to PATH revenue confiscation, so they built it at the point just beyond their jurisdiction.

My little town built a nice new town hall, complete with solar panels on the roof! We all felt so very, very virtuous!

Of course it just came out that the panels haven't worked for years, and they have to replace the roof, and will be removing the solar panels, at the cost of a few hundred thousand bucks.

I bet she forgets to bathe for days at a stretch and then beats her maid with an old femur bone because everything always seems to smell bad.

201 Fort Ross, north of SF on the Sonoma Coast, is an interesting visit. The Russian imperial outpost had "indigenous" (from Alaska and points north) contractors who hunted the otters. The main market for the pelts was in the court(s) of Chy-nah.

As for fur, smoothest most luxurious kind I recall was silver fox, in the (very expensive) hats for sale at the Soviet hard currency stores (beriozkas - Franpsycho should fondly recall them) in Leningrad. Unbelievable. I settled for a muskrat hat, bought from the big department store (Gostinniy Dvor), for about $30 in rubles, part of the proceeds of a sale of one pair of Levis for $125.

Still have the hat. Putting it on outside when it's in the 20s is like stepping indoors, it's so effective.

Went to the Inner Harbor when it was brand new. It was pretty nice. Have no idea what it's like, now.

It is nowhere near pretty nice anymore. Nothing in Baltimore is anymore. Which makes me quite sad, as I grew up in Baltimore.

Baltimore was the adopted home of my late sister. I think the aquarium was open about month when we visited. The Inner Harbor was indeed a sight, and just a short walk north brought you to the Baltimore Brewing Company, which made a great seasonal marzen. Great memories pub crawling through Fells Point...

252 After the Civil War thing I think I caught a total of 10 minutes of his "Jazz" series, in some waiting room somewhere. He's a general issue political cretin so no surprises.

Oh wait there was the WWII thing which was, much as I described the "peace" museum in Hiroshima as I exited, "not as bad as I expected", but still unimpressive. Saw that one. Sub-meh, but imagine his "instincts" were kept in check by memory of the Enola Gay revisionist backlash.

Ok. I'll probably watch it then at some point. I saw the intro to the series on YT. It opened with Thomas Paine, then immediately went to "the natives did it first." I rolled my eyes at that. The Confederation wasn't the model for the American Republic. I just figured it was virtue signaling.

Yes, indeed he did. He delivered an address at the opening of a college for blacks in the 1870s.

To show just how much he changed, in the aftermath of the Fort Pillow massacre, there was an angry exchange of letters between Federal General Hindman (IIRR) and Forrest, in which Hindman accused Forrest of deliberately massacring the USCT. Forrest indignantly replied that he did not, that he would never destroy valuable property. Showing a really alien mindset to me.

It depends on organizational ability, majority passivity, and institutional strength, but historically 10-20% of a highly motivated group suffices to infiltrate key positions without opposition—see Lebanon or early Islamic expansions. In modern democracies, a minority can dominate long-term via alliances and demographics like higher birth rates, without needing absolute majority.
Full takeover demands cultural erosion and electoral wins, more likely above 30% if resistance remains absent.

340 That’s why I specified “about” a year.

Army Corps of Engineers (and the Seabees) did incredible work during the war years, along with large corporations, who were not necessarily interested in taking on more work than they already had.

Oak Ridge and Hanford alone were pretty big operations, and the airfields at places like Tinian were among the largest anywhere. Although something like 15 million Americans were in uniform, a huge workforce had to stay at home, I’m not sure how they got them.

If one was a machinist or welder, he probably got pulled out of the .mil fairly early on.

Quite late to the game. Something the locals don't like. First is "orders" from a president of either party. Second, they pride themselves on running the state appropriately. That is how they made it deep red with a super majority in the legislature, with reasonably drawn districts. The population wants it that way. If Trump wanted this done - and we know why and it makes good sense - he needed to realize doing it this way was going to put the local GOP in a world of hurt with their voters. Which is all they care. Trump has been amping up the rhetoric more like first term. He needs to dial it back. He blew it here.

388 U2's popular songs (e.g. Sunday Bloody Sunday) are ok, but not great. U2's good stuff is good because A) Bono does have an amazing voice and 2) because the guitar sound is very unique.

A great example of the unique guitar would be the opening of 'Where the Streets Have No Name'. It is a guitar like no other. Also their song 'One'. Say what you will, but the guitar is unique and really works well with the song.

As far as Bono's voice, their ongoing 'One Tree Hill' is a great example of what Bono was capable of. If anyone wants to give an honest assessment, have a listen to One Tree Hill. It also has U2's unique guitar. Do listen beginning to end though... it builds nicely, anBono really gets going after about 3:50.

407 Out to lunch Henry Kaiser.

Between 1931 and 1945, he helped organize combinations of construction companies to build the Hoover, Bonneville, and Grand Coulee dams, as well as other large projects. To supply the more than 6,000,000 barrels of cement needed for the Shasta Dam, he erected a cement plant in Permanente, Calif., and a nine-mile conveyor belt across a mountain to the dam site in 1939.

During World War II he ran seven shipyards that used assembly-line production to build ships in as little as 4 1/2 days. By the end of the war, his yards had produced 1,490 ships for the U.S. maritime commission. In 1941–42, he built the only integrated steel mill on the west coast of the United States, to make steel for his shipyards.

408 Does WWV have a transmitter on 2.5 mHz? I picked up something going "tick, tick, tick" at that spot on the dial. Radio plays; the problem is the power switch, located in the back of the tone control, is no good. And there is dust or crap in the tuning capacitor, manifested as scratchy noise as you tune the dial through one area on any of the bands. A shot of brake cleaner, and a blast with an air nozzle ought to fix that.

WWV operates in the high frequency (HF) portion of the radio spectrum. The station radiates 10 000 W on 5 MHz, 10 MHz, and 15 MHz; and 2500 W on 2.5 MHz and 20 MHz.

WWV has resumed broadcasting on 25 MHz on an experimental basis. The broadcast consists of the normal WWV signal heard on all other WWV frequencies, at the same level of accuracy.

Current 25 MHz Broadcast Specifications
Schedule: typically continuous. As an experimental broadcast, the 25 MHz signal may be interrupted or suspended without notice.

Radiated Power: 2.5 kW

They called those screws "trimmers". If the tuning capacitor section is nominally 40 to 240 pF, the trimmer might range it from 38 to 238, or 42 to 242 pF. And those adjustments all interact. You set all the screws to get max volume on a station at 1410 kHz, and you may find reception a 610 suffers a lot.

If memory serves from over 50 years ago, they should do an identification at the top of the hour. I believe they did broadcast on 'internationally allocated frequencies of 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 25 megahertz providing time of day, standard time interval and other related information'

446 I refurbed a really ancient Philco for a guy once, one of those Cathedral style. Real pain in the ass, because Philco didn’t use standard capacitors, they had proprietary tar-encased blocks.

Anyway when I got done, I noticed the intermediate transformers had been aligned in such a way for maximum bandwidth & fidelity, it was almost deaf on most of the dial but picked up the local station at the high end really nice, with surprisingly good tone. They must have kept it tuned to one and only one station.

Once it was all aligned according to Hoyle it was quite good at reception, but had reverted to that characteristic tinny kind of old radio sound from the 1930s. They do sound way better for voice.

I recapped a big wooden console radio for someone else, and that fucker could get you arrested when turned up loud. I think it was a Motorola. Perfect for annoying the neighbors with the 5 AM farm market reports. “June soybeans down 3 and 8th”

In fact, as you amuse yourself with the illusion that your tax dollars are being used for a good purpose, the truth is a shocking number of these systems aren't even operational.

Maintenance costs money. It's cheaper and easier just to flip the breakers and walk away. This happens a lot.

The last times I tried bananas they had no banana flavor, just tasteless. It's the same complaint I hear from people regarding tomatoes in the grocery store: Tasteless.

In 4th grade, the other kids were making fun of me putting potato chips on my sandwich. The teacher saw what was going on, came over to my desk and said, out loud, 'You like potato chips on your sandwich? So do I. Stopped the ridicule. The little things make good teachers.

@MarioNawfal . 3h

HOUSE SPARES PLASKETT FROM CENSURE OVER EPSTEIN TEXTS BY 5 VOTES

Stacey Plaskett survived a Republican attempt to censure her and strip her Intelligence Committee seat over 2019 texts with Jeffrey Epstein.

The 209-214 vote saw three Republicans defect while Democrats held firm.

Plaskett: "I have sought information from confidential informants, from murderers... because I want the truth"

Ralph Norman (R-SC) argued her Epstein contact shaped oversight hearings.

Plaskett maintains he was merely a constituent and she was gathering information before his federal investigation became public.

I think it says high fidelity on the back. I want to get it up and running because there is a tape reel in it, and according to my uncle myy great grandfathers voice is on it, and he died before I was born, so it might be interesting to hear.

Strawberries, too.

All the grocery-store produce cultivars are

1) bred for durability for shipping, not flavor, and

B) harvested way early, so they're still not quite ripe after being shipped here from Peru.

479 Cashews too, they are all imported now. They are frigging humongous, but … they don’t have much flavor at all.

Store bought tomatoes have always sucked. Canned tomatoes aren’t much better. Is there a decent brand of canned tomatoes? They are almost not worth including. I like to make a trailer trash style goulash once in a while, just because it tastes good.

With the apple jelly, the best is B-B-Q potato chips. At least I think so.

I still occasionally have a PB&Apple J with potato or corn chips. The problem, believe it or not, is finding apple jelly in the stores. Most here only carry mint apple jelly. For me, the irony of the apply jelly shortage is that I am in the second-largest apple producing state (NY).

518 Kent Rollins has a real good cooking channel he does, on the Tube that is You, he turned me on to Chipotle in Adobo sauce. Smoked Jalapeños in a tomato sauce w/onion and garlic. Supplied in twee little cans. Great for everything really, from Chili of course, chicken & rice, even potato casserole dishes. Should be great in omelettes too. Use with caution at first, one can will give a large bowl of red a pretty decent kick. Has more flavor than heat. That’s what I like, can’t see any reason for food to actually burn.

Mom made a simple "ranch" style dressing:

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper -- optional

Return to Witch Mountain Cafe

Witch Mountain, Sedona, AZ
throwawayMambo5

Here's the trailer for Escape from Witch Mountain (1975). This is the movie where I first saw Kim Richards and I was allowed to have a crush on her because I was younger than she was. I also think this movie started the trope, which we'd see continued in the Wonder Twins, where the sister has an awesome power and the boy can turn into a bucket of lukewarm water or form the shape of a puddle. I think the boy in this had the amazing power of... playing a f***in' flute without his hands or something. Meanwhile the girl can PK an RV over a f***in' canyon like a psychic Evel Knievel. #WOKE

The Cloudflare outage has been traced to its source, and of course it's exactly who you think it was.

Florida Weather is f***ed up, too.

Hast thou seen the white whale?

Dogs showing off ninja stealth skillzzz.

Not in front of the other employees, Gertie!

My eyes and heart say "real" but my brain says "AI."

Roast duck. (Or penguin?)

Bears are begging us to domesticate them already.

For ten seconds I was certain I was looking at a woman. Now I realize I'm a furry.

Border collies never leave work back at the office.

Dog is so happy to be adopted.

Big tough doberman is a scaredy-cat for the rain.

The heart wants what it wants.

Christmas is coming, and the true enemies of Christmas are in training.

Puppy grows up to be a big strong dog but he still wants to lay his head down on his mommy.

Really good wingsuit video:

Life on Mars, specifically the Viking experiments is being revisited:

https://is.gd/iM4VAc

The Viking landers had several experiments designed to look for signs of microbial life -- basically metabolic processes. Several of them had positive results, but that was dismissed as likely abiotic, due to the absence of organic molecules. There was some chlorine compounds there, but they decided those were contamination from the landers themselves.

Well, they now know their are organics on Mars, including those chlorine compounds.

Anyway, one of the lead scientists on one of the experiments, Gil Levin, insisted to his death that they found good signs of life, and was pretty bitter about it.

All of that is now being revisited, nearly 50 years later.

My position was that Trump would be the end of the democrat party, which he vehemently denied as a possibility, while pushing idiot queen AOC as the second coming.

Turns out that we were both right to some extent.

97 25 Every penguin-free Café is clement, indeed.
Posted by: Duncanthrax

One interesting mystery concerning the defection of double agent Kim Philby to the Soviet Union via a Russian freighter in Beirut has always been, who tipped Philby off to his imminent arrest? KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn confirmed, in documents only recently declassified, that the person who advised Philby to leave Beirut post haste was an individual previously named in these comments: Duncan Duncanovich Thraxski. Philby, of course, carried with him, along with many other items of intel, a list of hundreds of members of the anti-communist penguin underground in Eastern Europe compiled by communist front organization, Penguin Facts; most of these heroic penguins were subsequently either assassinated or executed after brief show trials. So, the mephitic odor that anti-penguin agitators frequently complain about is most likely the result of a guilty conscience manifesting itself in the psychosomatic triggering of their olfactory glands.

Points awarded, however, for using the word "clement" in a non-weather context.

143 The idea that penguins have ever been anything but communists is so ridiculously far from the truth that your faithful reporter of the facts will need not only a new keyboard, but a new monitor and fresh coat of paint on the wall behind it.

Their self-professed goal of world domination is driven by this and their basic behavior, that of close communal living in polymorphic perversity.

For generations he has guarded over my family. Since the days of my great-great-great-great-grandfather he has kept us safe. For so long we thought him immortal. But now I see differently, for just as my fur grows grey and my joints grow stiff, so too do his. He did not take in my children, but gave them away to his. I will be the last that he cares for. My only hope is that I am able to last until his final moments. The death of one of his kind is so rare. The ending of a life so long is such a tragedy. He has seen so much, he knows so much. I know he takes comfort in my presence. I only wish that I will be able to give him this comfort until the end.

184 Report: House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries Solicited Donations from the “evil” Jeffrey Epstein, Asked Him to Meet with Obama

Posted by: SMOD at November 18, 2025 08:26 PM (GITLP)

185 One day, I was sitting at home, threatening the kids, when this tank drives up. One of Dinsdale's boys gets out all nice and friendly like, and says Dinsdale wants to have a talk with me. So, he chains me to the back of the tank, and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdale's place. Dinsdale's there in the conversation pit with Doug, Charles Paisley the Baby Crusher, a couple of film producers and a man they called Kierkegaard, who just sat there biting the heads of whippets . And Dinsdale says 'I hear you've been a naughty boy, Clement', and he splits me nostrils open, saws me leg off and pulls me liver out. And I tell him 'My name's not Clement', and then he loses his temper and nails my head to the floor.

260 The Louisiana community is on edge tonight after a local man made a bold, life-threatening decision inside his own home.
According to authorities, the man looked his wife directly in the eyes… and said the forbidden phrase:

“You were wrong.”

Neighbors report hearing a gasp so powerful it knocked two potholders off the kitchen wall.
One witness said the wife’s eyebrows “rose up like storm clouds forming over Lake Pontchartrain.”

Police Chief Mrs. Shaw addressed the situation at a press conference, calling the husband’s statement “reckless, brave, and medically questionable.”

“It takes extraordinary courage for a man to tell his wife she was wrong,”
Chief Shaw said.
“Courage… and medical coverage.”

Paramedics remain on standby while negotiators attempt to guide the man out from behind the washing machine, where he reportedly dove moments after realizing what he had said.

The community has begun lighting candles and sharing stories of other men who attempted similar feats. Most survived, though none remember the event clearly due to “trauma-related amnesia.”

Officials urge men statewide:
“If you must tell your wife she’s wrong… write it in a note. Then run.”

This is one of the most insane things I've ever heard a politician say.
Zohran Mamdani declares that New York is a "city of international law."
Last time I checked, I was pretty sure New York is an American city under U.S. law.

Raylan Givens
@JewishWarrior13
🚨WATCH: Zeharan Mamdani, the incoming mayor of New York, reaffirmed yesterday in an interview with ABC network that he will do whatever he can to enforce the international arrest warrant against PM Netanyahu if he visits New York, even if it is during a visit to the UN General Assembly.

Mamdani has already said he intends to ignore Trump's lawful orders as president and as the top law enforcement officer in the country, as regards deporting criminal aliens.

So he intends to implement "international law" while committing insurrection against constitutional American law and authority.

Guy Benson
@guypbenson
He is very eager to enforce illegitimate "international law" against the elected leader of the Jewish state, but is explicitly opposed to the enforcement of actual, binding federal immigration law in his city.

Islamic law trumps American law.

And the worldwide communist revolution trumps all:

He says he needs to uphold "International law," i.e., arrest Netanyahu per the ICC's arrest warrant.

The ICC has also issued a warrant for Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri of Hamas. Will Mamdani arrest that guy?

Zohran Mamdani just endorsed her for a New York State Assembly seat in Queens.

Here is Kawas saying 9-11 was America's fault because of our "system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and islamophobia."

Pfft. She forgot cis-patriarchal, misogynist, and transphobia. Junior varsity at best.

He is very eager to enforce illegitimate �international law� against the elected leader of the Jewish state, but is explicitly opposed to the enforcement of actual, binding federal immigration law in his city.

And he acts as if his hands are tied.

It's "international law," ipso facto New York being a "global city," he must enforce "international law" there.

Once the state is all, it works both ways.

Gentile's fascism is achieve the means of the "ethical state" that has the power to pronounce its own self "ethical".

Communism can be the end to a fascist state, where the state is the sole determiner of what cannot be opposed. In fact, Marxism requires a fascist state to beat socialism into people.

If and when the federal government comes for him, it is reasonable to assume that his handlers have anticipated it, and a drawn-out siege and drama have been planned.

Also that there are traitors on the inside tipping them off.

I don't think that quietly tolerating his bullshit is the way to go. He is the public face of invasion. He didn't take the full oath during his citizenship ceremony. Maybe start there. And fire whoever allowed the modified oath.

In part, I think the whole Epstein crap on the Dem side was a power play by the new radicals to force out the old guard Clintonites, Obamites, Bidenites for the new DSA dreamboats etc.

The new assholes are not connected with the old domestic Uniparty big money but instead are owned by malignant foreign interests using them as footsoldiers to take down the US and mire it in internal conflict.

Their masters are doing so. War is always the last result of evil people trying to hold onto power. They failed to suck the US into Ukraine, the Gaza issue is settling down, and any action taken with Venezuela is likely to be short.

Taiwan might have been possible a year ago but with lessons learned on drones, etc. I think that is a bridge too far for an aging Xi. Amphibious landings are tough, contested amphibious landings against a peer level navy are much tougher.

So that leaves civil wars inside Western countries.

Posted by: qdpsteve at November 18, 2025 06:35 PM (cQHrm)

A soldier *has* *to* accept an order out of military necessity that sends him and his unit into a situation where they will probably, sometimes certainly, all die. Of course they will have "legitimate questions" about that, but it doesn't matter. An Army where everyone is allowed to question orders is one that collapses on any battlefield and loses every conflict. Obedience far beyond what any civilians conceive of as "reasonable" is an absolute requirement.

"Sedition" has no meaning in a military context. You either obey the orders of your superior, or you don't. And if you don't then you are in a state of mutiny.

"International Law", like say the Law of the Sea, is via treaties. A sovereign govt. ratifies it and agrees to abide by it, and enforces it it's own self, such as any enforcement would be needed in its borders.

And that would be the federal govt, not any state or local govt that would do it.

So, if anyone was going to be arrested under some treaty or whatever (think of extradition, for instance), it is the feds that do it.

Back when we were stationed in GITMO a Russian cargo ship pulling a string of barges came through the channel one night heading up to Guantanemera when I was out fishing. One of the barges broke loose and grounded on the point by Leeward side. That barge was loaded with construction equipment.

I pulled my boat anchor up and raced towards it intending to claim salvage rights as it was in the channel which is considered international waters and it was abandoned. Fvcking security boat beat me to it and waved me off. There was a couple of million $$$$ in equipment on that barge. They came back the next morning and picked it up.

One of my PoliSci professors used to piss off his lefty students by asserting that there was no international law, because there was no "international 911" to call in order to enforce it.

Funny thing, the closest thing to International 911 is to call the President of the United States (oddly enough, an office currently filled by a certain OrangeMan). No other nation has the resources to realistically enforce international law.

Assuming that you disobeyed a lawful order, you are not a traitor. You are someone who disobeyed a lawful order - which is a crime short of treason. How that would be handled depends on a lot of variables.

Assuming that you obeyed an unlawful order, you may not be a traitor (depends on the order) but you are guilty of whatever crime you committed as part of obeying the order. But, and this is important to you hypothetical, so is whoever gave the order.

I don't care about the rationale anyway. All I know is that I cannot cross a border in the world without first seeing a customs and immigration official and I BETTER have a passport and visa.

307 One of my PoliSci professors used to piss off his lefty students by asserting that there was no international law, because there was no "international 911" to call in order to enforce it.

Funny thing, the closest thing to International 911 is to call the President of the United States (oddly enough, an office currently filled by a certain OrangeMan). No other nation has the resources to realistically enforce international law.
Posted by: IllTemperedCur
=======
The Neo Realist critique of Kant and his supporters by Kenneth Waltz is that at the end of the day, any enforcement of international law depends on a nation or group of them willing to enforce it by pure power.

No power, then no enforcement, and thus no law. There is not some international zeitgeist despite the fever dreams of UN bureaucrats to do so.

The older take was that international law were simply customs of behavior between nation states and that treaties were the niceties that ratified understandings much as contract law does. There was not much regard for free floating multinational treaties like the ICC because quite frankly, how many divisions does it have.

Point against PMCs as a modern-day Freikorp analog. There are oathkeepers (partly fed op? or infiltrated) and proudboys (strong likelihood of fed op or infiltrated, at least), which has a lot of vet overlap. But PMCs provide a ready-made, almost exclusively vet, analog if they were more politically organized.

Ask all those Nazis at Nuremburg how that defense worked out. “We were following orders” is factually correct, but the Allies forbade that as a defense. One of the things a professor stressed in a history class about all of those atrocities in Germany, is they were legal. I mean sort of - they had the imprimatur of legal-ness to them, all wrapped up and pretty with the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed.

We’ve had a taste of the collective hive mind here in recent years. Keep your mouth shut. Don’t make waves, or you’ll get ”cancelled” fired from your job, maybe prosecuted by activist psychopaths in government. The only reason people aren’t thrown into camps is because they yet don’t have the ability to, it certainly isn’t for a lack of desire.

And President Trump taunts them every day and every hour.

Mamdani is a classic case of a political neuroses, a Party that has lost its power and its voice, a weakened society ripe for the plucking, and Mamdani figures he's the biggest plucker on the block.

393 International law has two components: public IL and private IL.

Public IL is composed of treaties and other conventions adopted by nations among themselves, government to government, or within the framework of overarching organizations such as the UN or the EU.

Private IL is composed of contracts between competent parties, like what occurs in commercial transactions between contracting parties from different nations.

The former are enforceable by diplomacy or, if all else fails, economic conflict. The latter by conventions like the International Convention on the Sale of Goods, a kind of UCC for international deals, which requires arbitration tribunals to settle disputes.

Outside of politics or warfare, there are no other mechanisms available to enforce so-called international law.

Quite late to the game. Something the locals don't like. First is "orders" from a president of either party. Second, they pride themselves on running the state appropriately. That is how they made it deep red with a super majority in the legislature, with reasonably drawn districts. The population wants it that way. If Trump wanted this done - and we know why and it makes good sense - he needed to realize doing it this way was going to put the local GOP in a world of hurt with their voters. Which is all they care. Trump has been amping up the rhetoric more like first term. He needs to dial it back. He blew it.

House Votes 427 to 1 to Release Full Epstein Files

Near-unanimous.

The lone "no" vote was cast by Rep. Clay Higgins, who objected to the trashing of grand jury secrecy and worried about many people named in the files being exposed to unfair publicity. Remember, this is all the unvetted, unverified stuff -- anyone can make any accusation and get it jotted down in a government record.

I guess this case is now a matter of such intense public interest that such concerns don't matter.

Now it goes to the Senate:

Nick Sortor
@nicksortor
2h
🚨 BREAKING -- IT'S OFFICIAL: The Epstein Files Transparency Act has PASSED the House of Representatives, 427-1
The sole NO vote was Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), but it's unclear why.
The bill, which is on the floor due to @RepThomasMassie and @RoKhanna's discharge petition, would force the release of the Epstein files
It now heads to the Senate, where it's expected to receive pushback, and even possibly be amended.

I think this will wash out as a net negative for Republicans, because the media will continue ignoring the actual Democrats associating with the convicted pedophile while continuing to insinuate this is a Republican scandal.

Despite the fact that if there were Republican names in those files -- especially Trump's -- Obama's and Biden's Angry Democrat DOJ lawyers would have leaked them starting in 2015 and would have kept re-leaking them through this past election.

The dog that didn't bark is the telling clue.

Leaked emails already show a Democrat group begging for donations for... current Democrat minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, pimping him as "Brooklyn's Barack."

This broke two days ago. Heard about it from George Sloppadopoulos yet?

Speaking of Hakeem Jeffries -- he now has a primary challenger from a Mamdani ally.

A Brooklyn city councilman known for his ties to progressive movements has formally launched a campaign committee to challenge House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in the 2026 Democrat primary, mounting a rare intraparty bid against one of the highest-ranking Democrats in Congress.
On Monday, November 17, the Federal Election Commission received a new Statement of Organization for a campaign committee titled "Chi Osse for Congress." The filing confirms that Chi Ossé, a 27-year-old Brooklyn councilman, intends to run in New York's 8th Congressional District. Ossé, who became the youngest member of the City Council when he was elected in 2021, recently rejoined the Democratic Socialists of America.
The seat is currently held by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who has represented the district since 2013.
Ossé -- who identifies as openly queer -- has reportedly told political allies that he plans to run during the 2026 midterms. He told the New York Times that he had been "hearing a lot of concern about Democratic Party leadership," and said:

It's a big part of why I worked so hard to get Zohran elected and defeat the establishment's champion, Andrew Cuomo.
His decision comes despite the objections of New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, who has privately discouraged Ossé from running, with sources saying he fears it could disrupt the fragile peace between the far-left and moderates as he works to advance his agenda, according to Axios, the New York Times, and the New York Post. The disagreement between the two allies reportedly led to Ossé being excluded from Mamdani's election night celebrations.

Of course he's "openly queer." Because queers are so marginalized, of course he'd take every opportunity to advertise that.

Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries admits that Obamacare is a disaster. He says this in claiming Republicans want to make it worse, but... wasn't this sold to us as the ultimate fix for health care?

Update: One reporter actually asked Hakeem Jeffries about Stacey Plaskett and Jeffrey Epstein. "Brooklyn's Barack" did not answer.

30 Everything else aside, I believe there were some legitimate concerns about the release. Mainly, that some people who were either whistleblowers or cooperating witnesses are going to get outed. Plus you saw what they did to Trump. So I have no doubt that anyone even mentioned in the materials will be tarred with whatever people can come up with. It also seems like the IC was fighting hard not to release some of the materials. I would love to hear about that from The DNI.

Members of Congress didn't need Epstein to get their freak on. One thing we've learned since 2016 is that DC is absolutely awash in sex. If they needed a little something-something they couldn't get locally, they could just do a "fact-finding" trip to somewhere where it would be supplied. China, for example.

There is also the fact that Roberts and his wife adopted Irish kids from South America but Ireland does not allow its citizens to be adopted by foreigners (big scandal in the 70's and 80's about that).

Most recently, suspicions that Robert's clerk, Sheldon Snook, was the source of teh Dobbs abortion opinion leak to his wife-ta da, Mary McCord. Notice the investigation never actually named anyone for the leak and quietly disappeared despite the seriousness of the leak.

Doubtful. More likely Ghislaine was the ones with the IC contacts and Epstein simply moved money here and there for the IC. He was actually pretty involved as a hedge fund manager which gets overshadowed by his pervert nature.

My guess is as an asset for the Brits more than anything. The involvement of Andrew and Fergie is why. The Brit secret service thoroughly protects the Royals so allowing Andy to run amuck is more likely something they would feel comfortable with plus they control directly and indirectly a lot of those islands key to moving money inconspicuously around teh world for oligarchs and IC.

121 The reason Trump didn't want this to dominate the media is because he didn't want this to dominate the media. It's not hard to understand. He had a big part of his 1st term ruined by non-stop Russia collusion bullshit and he didn't want it to happen again.

He wants his accomplishments to be front and center not some 10 year old goat rodeo that will give the media endless opportunity to "just ask questions" despite the story having nothing to do with him. We've spent days, weeks with non-stop Epstein stories and it will go nowhere and we aren't talking about ending wars, bringing inflation under control, jobs, investment in the US and on and on. That's exactly what he doesn't want.

They were in effect victims but that doesn't mean that any successful prosecutions are going to come out of it. Virgin Islands would be the nexus of some of the charges, New York another and who knows regarding the apparent orgies in the air. So jurisdictional problems, past bad acts by the victims in recruiting others, drug and instability issues will be noted as to unreliability, if Epstein had tapes, neither the Island nor the townhouse were secured so who knows where they were. And so on.

Most perps like many of the bigwigs and implicated corporations so far, will settle civil actions in some court.

But given the CIA had no problems digging up assassins when it needed to, I doubt that Dulles and Angleton would want to bring in uncontrolled foreign assets to do the job in the first place. Plenty of wired up nutjobs and criminally adjacent creeps to do it for them.

Most conspiracy theories start with what they are trying to prove and then working backward to weave whatever narrative they want it to be by using the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy to only include evidence that supports their narrative while ignoring or denigrating contrary information.

I'm sorry, no, you don't get to shrug this off. If Obama or Biden we're acting as squirrelly as Trump has, doing everything at every step that a guilty person would do (It's a hoax! Stop talking about it!), you'd think this is a big deal. Gaming-skull big deal.

For the record, I don't think there's anything horribly damaging to Trump in there. Probably a bit embarrassing, but not really embarrassing for someone who we already know is a horndog, someone who we actually don't care how much he cheats on his wife. Trump isn't the boss of me and he doesn't get to make me stop caring about this just because he calls it a hoax.

The media still pushed the lie and many if not most Democrats still believe it. They do not care about facts and evidence which should be obvious to everyone. All they care about is finding some lie they can push to damage Trump and the movement. Democrats will believe anything if it helps them win.

262 I just finished watching the Netflix documentary 'Aka Charlie Sheen'. This guy was doing inhuman amounts of crack cocaine that would kill a bull moose. His dealer that would party with him would say that they would stay up for days drinking and doing crack and then the dealer would have to go home and he'd sleep for 2 weeks to recover, go over to Charlie's house and Charlie would still be partying having never taken a break.

Sheen became so insane and manic that he started having sex with men and women and contracted HIV along the way. He said that Cocaine was a highly sexualized drug and the one side of the menu was no longer enough and he had to flip to the other side of the menu to satisfy his lusts. I see all of this the same way - with some rich people with carnal desires, they become bored with with regular life and have to keep taking risks up a notch and keep pushing the envelope in stead of enjoying what they have. After Sheen became diagnosed and sober, he was ripe for blackmail and had to pay off a lot of people who would expose his exploits to the press if he didn't. Now, he doesn't care and that's why he did the documentary and spilled the beans.

270 I still think the most shady thing about the whole Epstein issue deals with the first arrest back in 2006. Someone in the US Govt. gave the order to drop the underage charges, and also agreed to NPA (Non-prosecution Agreement) and further federal charges without even telling the victims. Palm Beach County did the original investigation, and by all accounts had Epstein nailed inclusive of underage charges.

Then, the guy gets a "work release" sentence where he has to show up at some half-way house in the evenings and on weekends, and there is no documentation of him ever being there.

281 >>So either dump the files and show that there's nothing really bad about Trump in there, or dump the files including the fabricated stuff and show that it was fabricated. But you don't get to say "it's a hoax" and get everyone to think that you're innocent on your own say so.

And you think that will stop Democrats from talking about Epstein and lying about it? Have you been asleep for the last 9 years of the Russia hoax?

The left including the media will NEVER stop weaponizing this shit and their mouth breathing followers on the left will also never stop talking about it. And you know it.

A Democrat rep was literally texting with Epstein during the Michael Cohen hearing to try and smear Trump and Jamie Raskin excused it as constituent outreach. They don't care about lies. They don't care when their own reps are guilty of the crimes they accuse others of doing. They don't give a shit Bill Clinton went to Pedo Island 2 dozen times. It has nothing to do with facts and evidence, they don't care about any of it.

All they care about is having something to beat Trump with because like it or not he's been the most successful Republican president tearing apart their plans.

288 It's possible the idiot left play is something like letting Trump release whatever he has, and immediately shreiking bloody murder that is a fabrication.

It's also possible team Trump was hoodwinked, and what they think is getting released is not at all what will be released.

It's not. The whole point of the Epstein files is that a wealthy elite has been involved with trafficking of minors. That needs to come out, even if it's in a redacted form that protects the truly innocent.

And as I said, if it is a hoax, put the actual hoax in front of everyone and point out why it's a hoax. Then put the hoaxters in jail.

But it's not a hoax. There's some extremely mildly embarrassing stuff in there for trump, and he's such a control freak that he doesn't want any of it coming out at all. But it's not going to happen so he needs to put his ego aside and get all the information out there.

Posted by: An Observation sez Trump is my President at November 19, 2025 09:22 PM (Da7Vv)

Leaked Emails: Epstein Despised Trump (But Had Warm Relations With Democrats!)

The media is running cover, of course.

Democrats started this mess by releasing select emails they thought would damage Trump, but those cherry-picked messages turned out to be nothing burgers. House Republicans responded by releasing more than 20,000 emails, and the damaging information that emerged pointed right back at Democrats.

The emails revealed that Epstein really disliked Trump, telling former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers in February 2017 that he had "met some very bad people," but "none as bad as trump." In other messages with Kathryn Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel under President Barack Obama, Epstein described Trump as "worse in real life and upclose" after Ruemmler sent him a message calling Trump "so gross." So much for the narrative that Trump and Epstein were close pals.
The emails also revealed that Epstein discussed blackmailing Trump with anti-Trump author Michael Wolff.

Byron York writes about the Democrats' complete lack of interest in Democrats who visited Epstein's Pedo Island, while screaming about Trump, who never visited the island.

He recaps an old article by the blackmail enthusiast Michael Wolff, noting all the names of Democrats who did not break with Epstein even after his conviction for trafficking.

Foremost not among them: Donald Trump.

The article is a long list of people who hung around with post-prison Epstein. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, "for whom Epstein has become a key adviser," was helping Epstein deal with his image problems. Mort Zuckerman, "the real estate billionaire and owner of the Daily News." PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel. Lawrence Summers, the former Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University. Ehud Barak, the former prime minister of Israel. Then-Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim. The lawyer Reid Weingarten. Thorbjørn Jagland, then-head of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. Nathan Myhrvold, a former top executive at Microsoft. Harvard professor Martin Nowak. Richard Axel, a Nobel Prize winner. Investment fund manager Ron Baron. Josh Harris, owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils. And then: "A high ranking official from the Obama White House, whose name I am asked not to use."
They all came to Epstein's house in New York. "These meetings, and this lifestyle, have somehow stayed private or secret -- or apart -- not out of any formal or stated restrictions, but because, in some sense, it would be very hard to explain just what you're doing there with a brazen sex offender in a guffaw-inducing home flaunting all moderation," Wolff wrote. "And yet, defying disgrace, and tolerating his tone deafness -- or mocking attitude toward the zeitgeist -- so many come. Gladly. Willingly. Feeling that his invitation is quite an extraordinary privilege."

He could also have named Katie Couric and George Sloppadopoulos, but I guess he thinks he can still break into real media and wants to protect his leftwing media fellow travelers.

..
Given today's political situation and the things Wolff has been saying recently, here is something interesting. Out of all the names dropped, one is conspicuously absent: Donald Trump. The billionaire developer, reality TV star, and future president, who had a falling out with Epstein around 2004, did not even merit mention as a former friend. Wolff saw fit to name former President Bill Clinton as absent, but Trump, who at that point had not yet entered national politics, was just not there. Some years later, of course, after Trump became president, his adversaries saw Epstein, like they once saw Russia, as an opportunity to bring him down, and the Epstein story became all about Trump. But in 2014, when Epstein was alive and active and Wolff wrote the profile, Trump wasn't part of the picture.

Maybe that tells you something is wrong with the way the story is being reported today. Whenever new information is released, such as the thousands of documents recently made public by the House GOP, and when that new information contains nothing to incriminate Trump, the usual suspects loudly proclaim that more new information is still being hidden that will incriminate Trump. It must all be released! One prominent Democratic senator, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, literally said recently, "Clearly, Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring. That is heartbreaking that the President of the United States was involved in that kind of gross, craven immorality."
That is a positively surrealistic read on what we know about Epstein so far -- and we know a lot.

Of course, the Epstein emails do contain frequent mentions of Trump -- as his mortal enemy, who he believed was behind his arrest for trafficking.

York again:

"Your world does not understand how dumb [Trump] really is," Epstein wrote to former Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Lawrence Summers in May 2017, Trump's fourth month in office. When, in July 2017, former Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler wrote, "Trump is truly stupid," Epstein replied with a one-word answer: "Duh."
In an exchange with New York Times reporter Landon Thomas, Epstein wrote that Trump was "evil beyond belief," and that he, Epstein, had tried to warn the world about his former friend. "I told everyone from day one," Epstein wrote.
"I know how dirty Donald is," Epstein wrote to Ruemmler in August 2018. "My guess is that non-lawyers, NY biz people have no idea." Then Epstein boasted to an unknown recipient in December 2018: "I am the one able to take him down." Meanwhile, Epstein exchanged long emails with adviser Michael Wolff in which Wolff offered Epstein counsel on trying to damage Trump, blackmail Trump, and possibly run him out of office.
It would be an understatement to note that Trump was living rent-free in Epstein's head. "The emails suggest that Trump remained a fixation for Epstein," CNN wrote, "as he's frequently mentioned numerous times over a span of nearly a decade -- including long after their friendship ended."
By the way, remember when Elon Musk, breaking with Trump, breathlessly announced that Trump was "in the Epstein files"? Of course Trump is in the Epstein files; he's all over this set of Epstein files because he was so deeply in Epstein's head. Trump will be in other Epstein files, too, because Epstein apparently could not stop thinking and talking about him.
Finally, one problem with reading the Epstein emails today is that Epstein was, in the words of one recent assessment in the Atlantic, a "notorious liar." It is reasonable to take Epstein's statements of opinion at face value -- he appeared to really think Trump was dumb -- but not his statements of fact.
So when Epstein says that victim Virginia Giuffre "spent hours at my house with [Trump]," there's no compelling reason to believe him. Giuffre, now dead, wrote a book that said no such thing about Trump and also testified under oath that Trump "didn't partake in any sex with us ... [and] never flirted with me." Giuffre said she never saw Trump and Epstein together. She was asked, "Did you ever see Donald Trump at Jeffrey's home?" and answered, "Not that I remember." In addition, she said she did not remember seeing Trump at Epstein's island, or his house in New Mexico, or his house in New York.

The Democrat-Media Party has a Hot Take on Epstein's hatred of-- not friendship with, hatred of -- Trump.

That take? "If even Jeffrey Epstein (the notorious liar, note) says that Trump is bad, then Trump must be very, very bad."

They seem incapable of understanding that if Epstein hated Trump, and considered him the worst man on the planet, and also had information about Trump engaging in criminal activity with underaged women, then of course he would have leaked that information.

Therefore: Epstein had no such information about Trump.

The media which thinks it is so smart that it is the only institution in the world capable of reading information and drawing conclusions for it still can't wrap its stunted little brain around that conclusion.

Instead, we get this: "Leave aside" the question of whether there's any evidence Trump was a client of Epstein. Just look at how many times he's "in" Epstein's emails!

As York points out: Yes, he's mentioned by Epstein, as an enemy.

But unlike dozens of Democrats, there are no emails in which Trump speaks with Epstein.

We have proof that Epstein was using his paid operative Stacey Plaskett to get anti-Trump testimony into the congressional record.

You might think, "Gee willickers, if the media is this interested in Trump-Epstein stories, surely they must all be seizing and pouncing on this one!"

You might think that, but you'd be wrong. Again.

One would expect that such a story would dominate the headlines and the talk shows, especially given the Democrats' months-long, full-court press on the Epstein Files. The Protection Racket Media has other ideas about what makes news in the Epstein case, as [Newsubsters'] Jorge Bonilla discovered watching the Sunday news shows:

The Plaskett story early enough for pre-production of This Week, and yet there was no mention whatsoever of what would otherwise be a scandal. There was likewise no mention of Plaskett on NBC's Meet the Press, CBS's Face the Nation, or CNN's State of the Union.
As is the case with "news" in the Trump Era, the durability of a story is directly proportional to its ability to (a) cast aspersions on Donald Trump, and/or (b) cover up some other, more nefarious scandal. ...
Epstein coaching a Member of Congress as to what questions to ask of a committee witness isn't notable? Does this not warrant prominence on the Sunday shows? For an Elitist Media intent on mining the "Epstein Files" for revelations, this is a huge omission. But not surprising, because this does not directly implicate President Donald Trump in any crime.

The wagons didn't just circle around Plaskett on television. Straight Arrow News did some research on the coverage of the story, and found that -- with a handful of exceptions -- the Protection Racket Media did its best to shut the story down...

The media is asking Plaskett zero questions, but one citizen got through on the CSPAN lines and did ask about her servicing her pedophile patron:

MAZE
@mazemoore
In 2023 Stacey Plaskett was taking calls on C-SPAN and a caller asked her about her relationship with Epstein.
Plaskett: "He wanted to make contributions to the Democrat party."
She left out that she personally asked him for money and texted him during hearings on what to say.

Informed citizens, doing the job that the "American" media refuses to do.

10 Uhhhh. The normies still don't get it.

"Democrats started this mess by releasing select emails they thought would damage Trump"

They weren't thinking it would damage Trump. They were getting ahead of the story and creating a narrative about it. They were shaping the reality of the Epstein emails for their True Believers and the MSM (birm) and for AI that will read all the articles written by their True Believers and the MSM (birm).

No amount of corrections or emails now released will change that narrative. It is eternal. It is set in the minds of the Left that Trump had great relations with Epstien and helped him hunt down girls. It will be in the Wikipedia page on Epstien, it will show up on the top in web searches and in AI hallucinations.

That is why they released the stuff early. Understanding this is key to understanding the left.

If there are any Republican names in them, my guess is they will already be dead. Or chosen scapegoats...probably those that didn't back Trump 100%.

The originals will be leaked and will expose this. At some point someone will need to ask why "National Security" has a political bias.

It’s amazing how willing people are to go to jail for tampering with evidence when the truth comes out. Complying with an illegal order is not a protected act. Nuremberg trials prove this.

They’re convinced Dems will never be in power again because they will do everything in *their* power (i.e. lie cheat and steal) to keep Dems out

This is like when a gambling addict keeps losing and insisting "DOUBLE OR NOTHING". At this point they're fucked all the way down, might as well keep playing the game till the house refuses you anymore credit.

89 It's odd -- although maybe not -- that all the participants in these kinds of sex-ring scandals are Democraps and leftwing academics. It must be that these fetid sleazebags can't get laid any other way.

Sure, the odd conservative will get caught with his pants down banging the maid or something. But it's almost never conservatives in these "sex ring" scandals where a bunch of rich guys run a group of girls to pass them around to each other.

100 MTG is a sad case. She came to Trump wanting to run for state wide office in GA. He showed her polls where Osoff was beating her (like a rented mule ?) by like 2000 points, and she barely had a two digit approval rating (this was even before she dropped her mask, shown how batshit she is, willing to blow the View for votes). That is when she went all anti-Trump.

154 Lego is releasing its first-ever Star Trek -inspired model with an incredible recreation of the signature ship from the ‘80s TV series.

Made from 3,600 pieces, the Lego set is of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, the spaceship that serves as the main setting of Star Trek: The Next Generation series, which ran for seven seasons, as well as the 1994 film, Star Trek Generations.

It "allows builders to craft a detailed replica of the iconic starship, complete with a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, and warp nacelles with distinctive red and blue detailing,” according to a press release from Lego. “The model also features an opening shuttlebay and two mini shuttle pods, perfect for recreating classic scenes.”

The set comes with nine mini-figures of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters, including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, Counsellor Deanna Troi, Bartender Guinan, and the show's star, Wesley Crusher.

Figurines also have some themed accessories, like an engineering case, phaser, or portable tractor beam generator.

It was just basically prostitution

The conspiracy angle though is why he did it this way instead of just hiring high end escorts. Almost like the goal was to get someone that looked older and entrap a high profile person for blackmail purposes.

I didn't "buy into her schtick". But she was enthusiastic and talked a good game.

Once she starts shilling for the other team, it doesn't change anything she did in the past, but it does make he reconsider her ongoing usefulness.

It's not a hard calculation. If you look moment by moment, "Is she helping the team"?

Of course, "the team" has to remain worthwhile to care about that. But simply the possibility that somebody might be implicated in files they are not slow-walking ain't it, especially when Trump promises to deliver so much more in the next 3 years.

However, I stand vindicated. I put the "Epstein Files" on the back burner of concern because I had reasonable confidence that they would eventually be released.

It paid off, chilling and trusting in Trump. Everybody else has at least a little egg on their face.

I saw in her the same things I saw in all the high school girls who seemed OK at first, maybe even said the right things, but you could just tell there was pathological ego and ruthless ambition behind their eyes.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 18

I think she believes her state has rigged elections, because they do, so she is running to the side that rigs. She can say “I told you so” at the end, or she hopes. I also think she spoke to the Gov who said MAGA doesn’t play well state wide in GA, so being the highly ethical person she is, she is changing everything about herself to fit the mold. Someone should ask her about weather lasers and her current views on them.

242 They seem incapable of understanding that if Epstein hated Trump, and considered him the worst man on the planet, and also had information about Trump engaging in criminal activity with underaged women, then of course he would have leaked that information.

Therefore: Epstein had no such information about Trump.

258 This just in from CNN: Anonymous sources reported that War has broken out early this morning between Texas and Oklahoma along the border formed by the Red River. It has been reported that the Okies were throwing dynamite sticks across the river in an all out assault. The Texans quickly responded by lighting the dynamite sticks and throwing them back. So far, it is unknown if there are any casualties from this skirmish except for one unfortunate duck that was hit while swimming desperately to the wrong side. It won’t go to waste though as the Okies will have it for Thanksgiving dinner. More details as they become available.

He showed her polls where Osoff was beating her (like a rented mule ?) by like 2000 points, and she barely had a two digit approval rating (this was even before she dropped her mask, shown how batshit she is, willing to blow the View for votes). That is when she went all anti-Trump.

I can't help noticing that just before MTG's recent public change that she made a really non-sequitur remark at some press conference. I don't recall the topic of the press conference, but she said "If the authorities say I committed suicide, know that I did NOT commit suicide." (paraphrase). There was no context for the comment, and at the time everyone thought she was a bit unhinged, but she hadn't started doing what she is doing now.

I wonder what the context was on that comment.

It has been reported that the Okies were throwing dynamite sticks across the river in an all out assault. The Texans quickly responded by lighting the dynamite sticks and throwing them back. So far, it is unknown if there are any casualties from this skirmish except for one unfortunate duck that was hit while swimming desperately to the wrong side. It won’t go to waste though as the Okies will have it for Thanksgiving dinner. More details as they become available.

323 Of course Epstein considered Trump very bad and or dumb. Trump was not interested in joining Epsteins "having sex with very young, possibly younger than legal women" club and even kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-largo or whatever club because of the trafficking young girls.
Trump was not sophisticated enough to want to join that elite pedo club, in the eyes of these elite perverts, that is as bad as putting ketchup on steak

From the story, I presume a parent that is so often in the doctor's office that the dude knows them by sight and is irked by their manner. This could be because a child is sickly, but it can also be that the parent is working hard to gin up reasons for going to the doctor.

395 I don't know how I survived childhood. My parents never took us to the doctor. I imagine they would have if we were bleeding out of our eyes, ears, or had brain matter spilling out. But besides that is was Iodine, peroxide, & Robitussin. Occasional Ice packs.

I went to the hospital twice as a kid. Once when we were in an accident and got rear ended by a guy doing 75+ in a 25 zone and the suicide doors flew open and me and my brother were ejected from the car, no seat belts then.

The other time was when I got my sinuses crushed by a line drive baseball that I did not see coming.

But other than that it was like you said, bactine, iodine and bandaids.

397 At The Bee:

JERUSALEM — In a development which many see as an irrefutable sign of the impeding end times, biblical scholars and historians have reached a consensus that the Number of the Beast is actually 67.

The decision comes after a newly reevaluated analysis of Revelation 13:15-18, which contains a famously difficult-to-interpret number, which most translators have rendered as "666." New insight, however, indicates that the proper translation choice should be "67."

398 Trump was dumb, evil, and must be taken down by Epstein because he couldn't be bought, blackmailed, coerced, honey-potted, or otherwise compromised. That to Epstein was an abomination from this billionaire real estate developer who had also had him removed from Mar-a-Lago because Trump had surmised what Epstein was all about and it wasn't just about pedo island.

A much shorter version - if they had anything on Trump, it would have been used years ago. They have bupkis.

Illegal Alien Helped by Left-Wing Judge to Escape ICE Has Now Been Deported

Adios.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported an illegal alien whom Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan is charged with trying to help evade arrest by federal agents.
Over the weekend, ICE agents deported illegal alien Eduardo Flores-Ruiz of Mexico. Flores-Ruiz crossed the southern border in 2013 and was apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Nogales, Arizona. He was swiftly deported to Mexico, but illegally crossed the border again, a felony.
Flores-Ruiz also faced charges for strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse.

This is what I call a "full-spectrum cultural enricher."

In April, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Dugan for allegedly helping Flores-Ruiz evade arrest by ICE agents by purposefully misdirecting agents from Ruiz inside a Wisconsin courthouse.
...
A month after her arrest, surveillance footage from inside the courthouse showed Dugan seemingly pointing ICE agents in the wrong direction on purpose so that Flores-Ruiz could avoid arrest.

Video of that below the fold. If it actually posts. Cloudflare is causing all sorts of outages.

I never mentioned it, but back in late August a federal judge denied Dugan's motion to dismiss on grounds that as a judge she can do wha'ever she want.

A federal judge on Tuesday denied a motion to dismiss the criminal charges against Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan in the immigration enforcement-related case that has drawn national attention as an example of the Trump Administration's effort to punish judges it sees as antagonistic to its increased deportation efforts.

No bias detected.

Hint: She wasn't arrested for "being antatgonistic to increased deportation efforts."

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman issued a 27-page order denying Dugan's motion. Dugan's attorneys had filed to dismiss the case earlier this summer, arguing that the prosecution violated judicial immunity and represented extreme federal overreach into the operations of the state court system.

JUSTICE ⚖️

Remember Eduardo Flores-Ruiz the Illegal that disgraced Judge Hannah Dugan let out the back door of the courthouse

Well... the @DHSgov just deported him

Judge Dugan is set to go on trial next month

Who else hopes she's disbarred and gets a lengthy jail term 👍 pic.twitter.com/FsL9kfUnR2

8 I posted this below, but I'll post it here again.

Here's another clown judge issuing another clownface ruling:

NY clown judge dismisses the fed case on NY law that forbids ICE from arresting at courthouses as it impedes federal law enforcement.

Dumb bitch is all "NY is not attempting to regulate federal agents and is not prohibiting the federal government from enforcing immigration law. Rather, it is simply defining, as a proprietor, what activities are not permissible in state-owned facilities."

Oh? Oh? That's a neat way to say "fuck you" to the Supreme Court, a bunch of precedent and the Constitution, isn't it?

Let me write it correctly: "We're not saying the feds can't enforce federal law, we're just saying they can't enforce it in New York."

20 So the basis of the Obstruction case against the Judge is she purposefully cleared an escape route for the illegal by pulling all the Feds into the Chief Judge's office.

I'll tell you why she's screwed. The Chief Judge will roll on her stating that he/she had no idea what she was up to, and that the Chief Judge had no reason/request for meeting with the ICE agents. I'm sure the Chief Judge approved of her actions, but he's not going to put his own ass in the ringer to protect her.

31 In the1790’s during the Whiskey Rebellion about 12,000 people in the state of Pennsylvania attempted to revolt against federal authority. In response, George Washington sent about 13,000 federal troops, assembled them in Carlisle and personally took charge of the detachment. He then called in the leaders of the rebellion and said they could either stand down or be crushed.

They chose to stand down.

That’s the precedent for handling challenges to federal power like this one.

I worked to secure federal funding for this highway, which means shorter commutes, faster emergency routes, and more opportunity.

The I-94 is an east-west Interstate Highway in the United States, connecting the Great Lakes and northern Great Plains regions. Maple Grove Dragway is South of Reading PA, where you can see nitro-fueled funny cars scream down the track.

It's like they read "consent of the governed" to mean " but not as to us because we went to law school."

The Shipwrecked fellow has a long post on just how absurdly fast the clown judges are moving to rule against Trump. We're talking in 90 days or so. On a docket where average cases are 2+ years from start to finish.

They are destroying everything to stop the inevitable.

See also the TX ruling. The key fact there is, they've been sitting on this ruling for months. But the release is timed because the deadline to declare for next year is December 8.

Those detained in Elk Grove, California, included two 13–year–olds, police said. The children were taken into custody after partaking in the so–called 'door kick challenge' - a TikTok trend in which teenagers sneak up to a person's property and smash in their front door. Footage, released by police, showed the two youths, one in a ski mask and the other with his hood up, backing into a front door before booting it at full force and running away.

I just asked google "how many jews does it take joke"

And it prompted several jokes, most regarding a light bulb, with no response from the AI.

Then I just asked "how many muslims does it take to screw in a light bulb."

I Shit You Not, this is the answer Google's AI gave me: AI Overview
The answer to this question is that it takes just one person, or as many as are willing to help, to screw in a light bulb. The topic as presented in the query is a pretext for a joke or a generalization, which is inappropriate and promotes stereotypes.

In junior high two of the neibhor boys and friends of our son's did similar. Rode bikes on the front porch and smashed a piece of pizza. We heard a thud. Then my runner husband kicked off his flip flops and chased them down the block, caught them hiding in bushes, and hauled them home to tell their Mama's. One mother was mortified and the kid had to come apologize the next day. The other mother? Her darling would never do this! He turned out to be a loser as did her daughter.

Seriously, even in rural areas that tend to be Vo-tech schools. If you are willing to take a chance, consider contacting an instructor there and asking if he/she would like to provide hands on teaching experience to his/her students and install a dishwasher in real life.

Donna,

We are replacing one. We can't do it ourselves because we are old and can't even move it.

Eventually we'll find someone who can install it. It sucks because Thanksgiving is coming and it would be great to have it for the holidays.

Decades ago someone asked my Dad if he had a dishwasher. He said, yes, I have three daughters, lol.

We'll cope.

146 Three judge panels on redistricting go immediately to Scotus upon appeal, no stop at the 5th. Use to be that three judge district court panels were used also in cases where state laws were deemed unconstitutional until that jurisdiction finally vanished in 1976 and regular appellate order was created for almost all cases except statewide redistricting cases.

If Dems get back in power in 2028, not only will they end deportations and open the border, they will order ICE to track down all illegals they deported and invite them to come back at taxpayer expense. I have no doubt they will at least try this.

That being said, if it's a unit for unit swap, it's really not all that difficult. Just a bit cumbersome as you have to lay down, reach and use some tools. And, some lifting/pushing to get things out and back into place.

Some of the newer dishwashers don't have jack shit worth a room to work under. You used to have around 6 inches of space. The new one I put in the new kitchen here probably had less than 3. Everything gets connected outside of the space, the drain hose, the braided water line, and the electrical, but these days they want an electrical outlet in the sink base with an actual plug coming from the dishwasher. Not sure if it depends on the area where one lives. Back in the day it was illegal to use an outlet, and now they frigging want one. It used to be easy. I probably hooked up 100 dishwashers in my time when I was doing kitchens. Lots of room, no problem. This new one I couldn't even get my hands under it.

Actually, if you look at the Constitution, the #1 idea is a union of sovereign states giving up a portion of their sovereignty to cohere.

It's definitely "majority rule" within states, and the states generally mandate that each municipality also operates under majority rule.

But at the state-to-federal level, it gets different. States themselves were to be the parties of the "upper house".

And Dems have a problem with the lack of majority rule anytime they can't win that either.

Democrats are only fit for a one-party state. They are totalitarian wannabes.

Clinton's Secretary of the Treasury, Harvard Professor Larry Summers, "Steps Back from Public Life" After Revelation He Sought Jeffrey Epstein to be His "Wingman" In His Seduction of the Daughter of a Red Chinese Banking Executive

This is somehow connected to Drumpf, I just know it!!!

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers in a statement Monday said he would be stepping back from public life and expressed deep regret for past messages with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the wake of new revelations about the extent of their relationship.
"I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused," he told POLITICO. "I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein. While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me."
Emails revealed that Summers, who served as Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and a top adviser to President Barack Obama, repeatedly sought advice from Epstein on romantically pursuing a woman he referred to as his mentee. Epstein in one message referred to himself as the prominent economist's "wing man." Summers in another exchange suggested women in aggregate have a lower IQ than men.
Summers' comment comes after a senior Trump administration official and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) each called on institutions to sever ties with Summers.
The statement leaves question marks hanging over the fate of several positions Summers occupies, which include a board seat at OpenAI, a tenured position at Harvard, an unpaid nonresident fellow position at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank and a paid contributor role at Bloomberg News. A Summers spokesperson declined to answer a direct question about those roles.

Politico refuses to name the woman he was trying to seduce. It was Jin Keyu, a professor in China, and daughter of a major figure in Chinese banking.

There's an interesting angle about the CCP in the story of Larry Summers trying to seduce someone he was mentoring. Her father is a Chinese official running part of the Belt and Road initiative, and she explicitly thanked Summers for supporting her Dad

Matt Stoller

It's very awkward that Larry Summers was manipulating Chinese and U.S. politics as a means of seducing a Chinese economist he was mentoring.

Is it "awkward"? Some might call it efficient.

Flashback to a Charlie Kirk tweet from July 25: Trump tells a reporter, "You ought to be talking about Larry Summers.... or Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island."

Trump said yesterday: "We have NOTHING to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats. Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, Bill Clinton. They went to his island ALL THE TIME. All Democrats."

But asking Bill and Hillary Clinton about their repeated trips to Pedo Island will be difficult: They're refusing to testify.

They cite no justification for doing so, they're just refusing.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
@RepLuna
Bill and Hillary Clinton are refusing to appear before House Oversight for their depositions regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Notice how House Democrats suddenly have nothing to say about it.

Remember when Peter Navarro refused to testify and Joe Biden sent him to prison?

Drew Holden
@DrewHolden360
Peter Navarro went to prison for what the Clintons are currently doing on the Epstein hearings.

The House is voting soon to release all the secret Epstein grand jury materials. The flake traitor "libertarian" Tom Massie is outgassing right now.

Trump asked the House to vote in favor of the release.

I'll be posting more about the Epstein disclosures -- and the media's refusal to cover them -- later today.

Since Trump won't be actually part of the whole thing in action, the whole matter is going to get dropped completely. The press will stop covering it, and the only people who will harp on about it are dead enders like Massie.

"2/3 of all of Congress went to Epstein's island and fucked children as young as 3 days old!" is not a serious thing to push, but people have been pushing it for years now. No amount of evidence will dissuade them.

18 The blackpill is in understanding that these were the good Democrats.
Summers was the last sane president of Harvard. Clinton's Presidency was about as economically Right was Cleveland's i.e., it didn't suck. Reid Hoffman however douchey he is personally is at heart a capitalist.
Epstein was arguably trying to keep the Democrats from being what they are now, which is a violent paramilitary.

That would be from Epstein? Byron York did note that Trump lived rent-free in Epstein's head, probably because he was obsessed after Trump banned him and resented the hell out of Trump's success. Epstein's hatred of Dershowitz would make sense on similar grounds.

Interesting.

Not one.

But she has posted about it 31 times since Trump took office.

Thomas Massie posted about it 2 times during the Biden Administration.

He has posted about it 100 times in the first 10 months of Trump’s 2nd term. 100 times.

Yeah. It’s totally about the victims and identifying ped0s.

I mean, he let these mysterious, unnamed ped0s free to victimize children for another 4 years during Biden’s presidency, I guess. "

They somehow got one of the better trade status agreements with the US, despite not fulfilling the requirements for such. Things like not using slaves, etc.

And there were the shady donations to democrats. Funny enough, it was even reported on back then, but I don't remember anything actually coming out from it.

Almost 3 decades ago. How much of the Democratic party was propped up by the Chinese? Communist Chinese at that?

Anyone remember any other "odd" happenings back in the 90's with China, that might now be explained by what we're finding out from these crooks today?

FACT: Not one of the 20,000 Epstein emails that have been released were to or from Trump.

80 TMJ the federal judiciary is truly a trainwreck/clownshow (flaming genitalia?) not just on substance and wild extra-unconstitutionality but even, hilariously, on following their own procedures.

SCOTUS can gaze upon the farce that it "oversees" in the inferior courts - adding that to the toxic disaster of the FISC - and ponder what a laughable shell is left of "rule of law" in a country that sort of invented the concept on a serious and large scale.

84 Anyone remember any other "odd" happenings back in the 90's with China, that might now be explained by what we're finding out from these crooks today?

After 9/11 a whistleblower came forward and said he had been running a program that had identified that Atta was in the US and up to something, but his program had been shut down and his report ignored.

However it wasn't because of Atta, its because his program found a bunch of American politicians were being paid by China. Now...in 2001 that was still considered unlikely. But now?

This would normally be a comedy setup in a movie from 20/30 years ago.

240 187 RE: Epstein

I'm starting to believe there are very few, if any innocent victims. Why are these nine women on Capitol Hill saying they'll name names but don't?

I don't buy the NDA excuse. Since when is an NDA enforceable against a crime victim? I also don't buy the fear of reprisal claim. They're in public. The people who abused them know their faces now. Anyone who would be in danger for talking would also be in danger for making it known they intend to talk. So why are they playing coy?

How many of these women facilitated the abuse of other women? How many are embellishing their story to feel important?

I believe there are victims, but I'm smelling a rat.

Because, and I'm not going to add this to my search history, but I'm pretty sure they were all above the age of consent in the jurisdiction of the island.

They were all legally of age to do what they did.

I'm sure there's plenty of embarrassment all around, including the victims. Epstein's operation was apparently multi-level marketing for THOTs and yacht girls. The girls themselves have said they were paid not only for sex, but also to recruit their friends into the sex ring. This is a reason the original case in FL collapsed. I'm sure there were a few genuine victims, but the vast majority of these girls were paid and kept going back for more.

ICE keeps turning up that a lot of them were impressed into sex trafficking by human trafficking organizations around the country and thousands are below 16 years of age.

"On August 12, 2025, ICE dismantled a large human trafficking ring in Nebraska, rescuing 27 victims, including 10 children under the age of 12, from conditions involving sexual exploitation and drug trafficking operations.

Five illegal aliens were charged with conspiracy to engage in labor and sex trafficking, and 14 additional individuals were taken into custody for living alongside the victims.

In a separate operation in Florida from May 2 to May 10, 2025, a joint undercover effort led to 255 arrests related to prostitution, solicitation of minors, and child exploitation, with ICE lodging 30 detainers against individuals from Venezuela, Cuba, Honduras, Mexico, Haiti, Colombia, Guatemala, and Brazil.

In Wisconsin, on September 25, 2025, ICE arrested 24 illegal aliens linked to a transnational human trafficking ring including individuals convicted of child sexual abuse

My personal guess is Epstein was an asset of British security services. Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father was used as such by MI-6 to get close to Leonid Brezhnev back in the day. Also why Randy Andy might feel safe to engage in his proclivities with Epstein if that was the case as the Brit security services have always kept a close eye on the Royals.

That being said, Ehud Barak apparently was a visitor at Epstein's NY townhouse several times.

My personal guess is that Epstein was engaged in moving money around as a hedge fund manager for the intel community and wealth individuals.

The sobering thing is to realize that they DID know some or all. And still supported them. Same with commies today.

Kamala had every opportunity to destroy Trump by releasing incriminating docs. She didn't. Why?

Trump has the opportunity to release the docs, but publicly stonewalls to bring maximum attention to the docs, then all of a sudden decides to release them now. Why?

They all knew what was in the docs. It's like a card game where your opponent knows all the cards, and you don't. It isn't 47-D chess; it's shooting fish in a barrel.

Many of the girls, including Giuffre recruited other girls into the ring which is actually common tactic for sex trafficking. That is documented in the earlier Palm Beach depositions and court proceedings. It ain't the stranger danger but the 'friend' that makes the initial approach. Basically, after the settlements, many of those Epstein girls, upon full release without redaction, may themselves sue each other for a few bucks more.

He's great at doing these things no one cares about. The media doesn't realize that amplifying helps him because they figure it has to turn some more AWFLs off somewhere.

So we're back to Trump said a naughty word.

375 I have never understood why people who are so wealthy don't retire and enjoy the money they have stolen from the taxpayers.

Stealing/getting over on taxpayer money is the kink. Just look at the Clintons. Retirement offers no such joy.

There is no power in retirement.

378 373 I've mentioned it before, but Jackie Chan once said to the media that the US Government was the most corrupt government on the planet.

"You're from f*cking CHINA you asshole!!!"

I shunned Chan and all his movies for years.

Turns out, he was largely correct.

My apologies, Mr. Chan.

The Chinese authorities pinched his son for drug possession. He probably said what he said to get leniency for him. It worked.

379 Judge Dugan is looking to cut a plea deal. Is in negotiations with US Attorney.
Is there a misdemeanor version of lynching and obstruction of justice?

380 Is Piggy fat?
Funny because Trump is fat too.
For the record, I weigh too much too.

381 Why doesn't Trump give the Two Grand out in postage stamps?
It would help the post office!

382 Marjorie Taylor Greene is what happens when Temu drags a ten-dollar bill through a northwest Georgia trailer park and uses the result to clone Liz Cheney.

383 He sent a flattering comment to mtg.
Not the one and only staunch conservative mtg?

Being hip deep with the Chinese would explain mtg's behavior .

384 Wait, this is the same Larry Summers that was President of Harvard who got fired for noticing women have different intellectual aptitudes than men, right?

Posted by: Pete in Texas at November 18, 2025 03:21 PM (7A7N9)

385 Now that I've seen photos of both Summers and the Chinese chick, I must say Summers needed all the help he could get.

**runs away and hides**

386 I bet they Dems don't vote to release the files. They just wanted to insinuate the Trump was a pedo. Now that it's going to hurt Democrats like Summers (sounds like a real jerk) and Clinton, they will balk.

Once again they walked into DJTs trap.

388 Epstein's membership log at Mar A Lago was closed in 2007 not 2004, Almost 2 years AFTER his conviction and sweetheart plea deal with Trumps future Sec Of Labor Acosta.

Posted by: aliassmithsmith at November 18, 2025 04:15 PM (59BGO)

389 Clinton broke with Epstein several years before conviction. Clinton broke with Epstein in 2003 3 years before arrest. However, Ivestigate him sure OK but really Most people would be more interested in an investigation that centered on our current President, not one from 25 years ago. How about you? which do you think more important ?

390 I have even produced $19,570 only in thirty days just working a few easy tasks from a laptop. Immediately once I’ve lost my previous position, I was very distressed and thankfully I have discovered this best on-line opportunity that’s why I could make thousands staying at home. Everyone can certainly join this best work & collect extra dollars online by
